Be afraid, be very afraid –
Halloween at the Zoo
Johannesburg, October 15, 2007
Some people say creepy, some say spooky but at the Johannesburg
Zoo it”s all fun and Halloween games. Join us as we celebrate
one of the exciting days of the year ‘Howloween at the zoo’.
As you might know, the origins of Halloween came from the Celts
who lived in Scotland; they believed that the Lord of Death
releases souls back to Earth on Oct 31. The Celts wore scary
costumes because they believed that the evil spirits wouldn't
recognize them as humans and wouldn't mess with them. This is
where the tradition of dressing up in costumes on Halloween came
from.
Every year the Johannesburg Zoo celebrates this children
fun-filled spooky night by “dressing up for the occasion”.
Everyone is invited to trick and treat at the Zoo. We cater for
the youngsters with no scary stuff as well as for the older
children and adults to scare you witless!
Date: 27 October 2007
Time: Between 17:00 and 20:00
Venue: Bandstand and other scary corners
Dress Code: Any fancy dress for the Littlies and real scary for
the older generation
Fee: R21 pp after 17:00 hours
