Spooktacular at the National Zoo and Aquarium

The National Zoo and Aquarium

Celebrate Spooktacular this Halloween at the National Zoo & Aquarium! Spooktacular is a family-friendly Halloween event, presented by the National Zoo & Aquarium Conservation Team (NZACT) to help raise vital funds for wildlife conservation. Last held in 2024, Spooktacular helped to raise over AUD18,000 for vital Australian native wildlife programs! With frighteningly fun games, scary scavenger hunts, a devilish dancefloor, wickedly wonderful treats and lots of candy, it is sure to be a fun night out for all! There will also be a very special Bent'Spook' Bar for the adults, and a free drink token is included in every ticket! Boo-k your tickets now!
