Whipsnade's Boo at the Zoo has a week-long Halloween event with animal talks, crafts, painting, magic shows, storytelling sessions and, for a small fee, the ghostly trail. Tudor World offers a haunted experience during the Samhain festival with a quiz and spooky prize for children. And RHS Wisley is hosting a family-friendly Halloween event with a fangtastic trail, creepy crawlies and spooky stories
