Animal Halloween at Duisburg Zoo: Spooky fun for the whole family
When the darkness falls over Duisburg Zoo on October 31, 2026, a special family experience begins: mist, hundreds of pumpkins, and atmospheric lights transform the zoo grounds into a mysterious Halloween world. From 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM, children and adults can experience illuminated animal enclosures, special feeding sessions, and creative participatory activities.
Illuminated paths and animal surprises
The illuminated paths lead from the entrance on Mülheimer Straße to the petting zoo on the western side of the zoo. Numerous lights create a festive atmosphere, while selected animal species can also be observed after dark. Thus, the event combines curious exploration with a child-friendly Halloween adventure.
Special feedings for young animal fans
A highlight is the special feedings, among others, with the manatees and Tasmanian devils.

The offerings create an age-appropriate learning experience centered around animal observation, nutrition, and biodiversity.
Creative children's activities and face painting
