About Halloween Gettorf Zoo

For two days around Halloween, Gettorf Zoo transforms into a spookily beautiful setting. Scary games and quizzes, eerie experiences for all senses, and tests of courage accompany visitors through the park. The zoo is open until 8:30 PM on these days – a Halloween evening among the animals. To wind down, the team invites all guests to bake stick bread at the campfire on the playground. Children under 10 can only participate in the evening program with adult supervision for safety reasons.

Halloween Gettorf Zoo — edition 2026

On October 24th and 25th, 2026, Gettorf Zoo transforms for its Halloween activity day. The park is open until 8:30 PM on both days and offers spooky games, tests of courage, eerie experiences, and a campfire with stick bread baking to conclude.

On Saturday and Sunday, October 24th and 25th, 2026, Gettorf Zoo extends its opening hours until 8:30 PM. During the day, regular zoo activities take place, and from the afternoon onwards, the Halloween stations begin: craft and quiz activities, spooky sensory experiences, and small tests of courage are spread throughout the grounds. At the end of the evening, the zoo team invites all visitors to bake stick bread at the campfire on the playground. A special Halloween variant: child-friendly, with animals, and with North German coziness.

Gettorf Zoo in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde District

Gettorf Zoo is located on the outskirts of the municipality of Gettorf in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district (Schleswig-Holstein), about 15 km north of Kiel. On an area of approximately 5 hectares, over 600 animals of about 100 species live, including maned wolves, meerkats, lemurs, monkeys, kangaroos, donkeys, and petting goats. The family park has been a popular excursion destination in the Eckernförde-Kiel region for decades.

Halloween – A Special Activity Day

Once a year – on the days around Halloween – Gettorf Zoo opens its gates late into the evening. The classic family park becomes a stage for spooky stations, puzzles, and eerie experiences. It is not a horror park or a scare attraction, but a child-friendly Halloween variant with tests of courage, craft activities, quiz challenges, and an unusual atmosphere: animals in the evening light, pumpkin decorations, and little shivers.

What You Will Experience

Spooky games and quizzes throughout the park grounds
Eerie experiences for all senses (touch, hearing, sight)
Tests of courage and small frights
Extended opening hours until 8:30 PM
Campfire with stick bread baking on the playground to wind down
Animals in the evening light – a different perspective on the zoo

A Family Event with a North German Touch

Compared to commercial horror events, Gettorf Zoo sees its Halloween activity as a family event. The tests of courage are designed so that even primary school children can participate. However, children under 10 years old may only participate in the evening program if accompanied by an adult – a safety rule because the park is partially accessible only by paths and lights in the dark. After the program, the team gathers all guests around the campfire to bake stick bread – a relaxed end to a slightly different zoo visit.
