It's Halloween at the Wilhelma on Saturday, Oct 31! Witches, vampires, and ghosts will take over Stuttgart's zoo and botanical garden from 10 am to 7:30 pm. There will be a light show in the Wintergarten, a spider cave, a witch-broom course, photo spots with Count Dracula and the ghost pirates, and a craft table where kids can make a little witch's house (€2 for materials). Kids aged 12 and up can brave Zombieland. At 7:15 pm, all the ghosts will gather for a closing photo and then parade to the exit.
All kids in costume get in free; everyone else needs a regular day ticket (and there will be no evening rate). Last entry will be at 5 pm, and the upper part of the park will close from 5 pm. The Pragstraße entrance will remain open.
