Chester Zoo is launching a new interactive Halloween trail for guests this October.
In a first of its kind for the attraction, Luna’s Lost Spell Halloween Trail will be indoors with visitors encountering animals including the Komodo dragon, Gaboon viper, poison dart frogs, blue Komodo viper, tarantula and the upside-down Jellyfish.
Guests are encouraged to visit six animal stations to learn spellbinding facts about the hair-raising species whilst collecting letters to form a word. Once they manage to uncover the magic word, they’ll be rewarded with a sweet treat.

Using augmented reality, guests can scan a QR code with their phone to reveal each letter with a fun, interactive experience then stamp the letters onto a postcard.
Gemma Bamford, Chester Zoo’s admissions and membership manager, said: "We’re so excited to launch our very own Halloween themed trail around the zoo this October.
"As well as learning cool facts about animals around six locations in the zoo, guests can collect a letter at each area that spells out a secret word. Once visitors uncover ‘Luna’s lost spell’ they can head to the apothecary at the zoo entrance for a sweet treat.
“Halloween is the perfect opportunity to shine a spotlight on some of the unknown species Chester Zoo is home to, inspiring visitors to care for our cause of preventing extinction of not only the renowned species like elephants, giraffes and rhinos, but the more unusual and extraordinary animals that may just shock, surprise or spook you.”
The trail - running from October 1 to 31 - is free to all visitors who purchase admission tickets and will take around two hours to complete.
