Dublin Zoo’s Junior Halloween Workshop

This October, Dublin Zoo invites you to a unique Halloween experience where the wild world meets wicked fun. Deep within the zoo grounds, their Haunted House is opening its creaky doors for an exclusive pumpkin-making workshop designed for the most adventurous young visitors.

Let your little creatures get hands-on as they transform a humble pumpkin into a spooky work of art. They’ll leave with not only magical memories but also their very own fang-tastic creation to proudly display.
