Dublin Zoo is offering free entry to children in costume for one day only to celebrate Halloween.
The offer is available on Saturday, October 31st, with little ones who arrive dressed in their Halloween costumes able to get a free child ticket at the gate.
The offer applies to single-day child admission tickets purchased at the gate and cannot be combined with other promotions, discounts or family tickets.
There’s plenty to keep the kids entertained during their visit, with Dublin Zoo hosting its Boo at the Zoo event over the October midterm break.
Running from October 24th to November 1st, the Halloween event includes a spooky Zoo-pernatural Trail, creepy characters and the chance to win a Junior Red Panda Keeper experience.
