"It's always interesting to see attractions blend seasonal fun with purpose, and they struck the perfect balance – spooky, interactive and family-friendly, all while highlighting their conservation mission and keeping it educational" – Sarah, LinkedIn, Howl-oween 2024
"Excellent event! Our 9 year old twins loved it. A great mix of animals and play areas, topped off with wonderful talks. The Halloween theme was a brilliant bonus." – Shelley, Facebook, Howl-oween 2024
