Spooky surprises and mystical mayhem await along the Witches and Wizards Trail at the Tropical Butterfly House Wildlife Conservation Park near Sheffield this October half-term – perfect for families seeking fun-filled Halloween thrills and chills!
Get ready for a wickedly special (trick or) treat time and spot the spellbinding creatures and characters lurking along the magical trail. Conjure up your inner witch or wizard to complete the challenges and graduate from the School of Magic (and Mischief) with your very own wand-erful wizard certificate!
Seek out the majestic (but mischievous!) Morpho – wizard extraordinaire! – as he casts his spine-chilling spells and stories across the park. Wander along the woodland walk to peek into the eerie witch’s cabin and take a terrifyingly-good-fun tractor-trailer ride through the haunted grounds.
From howls to owls! Take a seat at the Magical School of Curious Creatures Animal Antics show to witness spellbinding animal antics and free-flying birds. Stay after the show for a broomstick training masterclass or brew up some ghoulish giant bubble fun.*
Dress up in your bewitching best costume and you could scare your way to a spooky spot prize! Take part in the colouring competition and drop your magical masterpiece in the mysterious Owl Post Box. Can you find one of the special hidden prize scrolls for even more chances to win?
There’s also the chance to meet monstrous minibeasts and discover gruesome fun facts about the park’s amazing animals during daily animal encounters and keeper talks. For the brave, test your courage on the chilling Dino trail and enjoy the spooktacular sandpits and play park.
Don’t forget to creep into the park’s cafes and Jungle Gift Shop for some spooky-themed treats for all ages. At Lottie’s Coffee Lounge, pick up Halloween-themed kids picnic boxes (advance booking required) along with devilishly delicious autumnal drinks, including the ever-popular Pumpkin Spice Latte.
