Amazing Animals: Spooky Animals

A Halloween edition of the museum's live animal sessions brings a selection of creepy crawlies and reptiles to the Great Hall, with nine animals chosen on the morning depending on how happy they are. Visitors find out how the animals adapt and survive and how people affect their worlds. Hour-long sessions start at 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm, 2pm and 3pm, and there is a second day on Friday 30 October. Tickets cost £6 each and must be booked, as sessions are capped at 40 people. It is recommended for ages three and over, as younger children cannot handle the animals.
