Get up close with real life exotic animals as the Zoolab team come to Waddesdon.

Get up close and hands on with exotic animals in a Creepy Critters show by Zoolab. Your Witch or Wizard host will introduce to you a range of animals including snakes, lizards, tarantulas and more as they tell you all about the spooky, gruesome facts. We’ll be talking all about venoms, poisons, slime, webs, fangs, claws and even some history of how some of these animals were a part of potions and remedies back in the day. These fun interactive shows are suitable for all ages and the perfect fit for some Spooky Halloween fun, plus you’ll soon discover there’s nothing scary about these wonderful animals at all.

There are 5 shows of 45 minutes throughout the day on the 19, 20, 26, and 27 October.

Show times:

  • 11am-11.45am
  • 11.55am-12.40pm
  • 12.50pm-1.35pm
  • 2.20pm-3.05pm
