Children, who go along with a full-paying adult, will go free on October 29, 30 and 31.
And visitors can take advantage of this offer both online and at the gate.
Spooky walks, face painting, creepy keeper Halloween talks and pumpkin making workshops will get little ones in the spooky spirit.
A Monster Disco will be held on the lawn to get all the little feet hopping.
A spokesperson said: “Activities will include a Spooky Trail, face painting in the Farmhouse from 10am to 3pm, and creepy keeper talks throughout the day, all included in the cost of entry.
“If that wasn’t enough, Dublin Zoo are also hosting pumpkin making workshops on the 29th and 30th of October to make sure kids of all ages aren’t left bone-idle!
“This ticketed event at the Haunted House is for kids aged 4 to 15, with pumpkin decoration for ages 4 to 8 and pumpkin carving for 9 to 15 year olds.”
Make sure to pre-book the pumpkin making workshops.
The ticketed pumpkin making workshops take place on Tuesday, October 29 and Wednesday, October 30.
The spokesperson added: “Adult tickets include day entry to Dublin Zoo, while child tickets include day entry, a skele-ton of fun at the pumpkin making class plus your own petrifying pumpkin creation to take home and scare your friends with!
“There will also be games and arts and crafts to keep the little terrors aged four and under occupied.”
Discover the spooky trail, join the creepy keeper talks or get your face painted on Tuesday October 29, Wednesday October 30 and Thursday October 31.
Tickets must be pre-booked in advance on dublinzoo.ie.
For some festive celebrations, Wild Lights 2024 is returning with this year’s theme being “a journey through time”.
The event draws massive crowds each festive season and lights up the park with inflated, on-theme works of art.
The event will take place from 5pm until 9pm, November 4 until January 5, except for Christmas Eve, Day and Stephen’s Day.
Director of Dublin Zoo, Dr Christoph Schwitzer, said: “Each year, we are excited to announce our new Wild Lights experience, and we believe our visitors are in for the most unforgettable journey yet.
“With active volcanoes and dinosaurs as well as spectacular works of art brought to life through our beautiful silk lanterns, there really is something for everyone.”
