This Autumn discover Poo at the Zoo, Number 2 and celebrate Pumpkinfest! 🎃
Something strange has happened at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm this autumn… Nature’s secret superpower, has gone missing! Without it, seeds won't spread, insects won't thrive, plants won't grow and ecosystems would struggle to survive.
Can your family help the Dung Detectives solve the mystery?
As you explore the Zoo, visit the animals and follow the trail - discover surprising poo facts, uncover clues and collect a secret code letter at each stop. Then, at the end of the trail, unscramble the letters to reveal nature’s missing superpower!
And that’s not all. Once you’ve solved the mystery, make your way over to the Farm Shop to celebrate Pumpkinfest - With pumpkins, autumnal decorations and lots of family-friendly photo opportunities, it’s the perfect place to soak up the autumnal atmosphere and capture some seasonal memories.
Make a day of it this autumn – discover the animals, solve the mystery, then finish your adventure among the pumpkins!
