Spooky Activities this Halloween
By Rebecca Parker
- Granda Ben’s Pumpkin Trail
Todd’s Leap have transformed Granda Ben’s zoo trail this October into a Halloween hunt where you can pick out your very own pumpkin. There is fun for both the adults and the little ones – trekking through the forests, daring to cross the Carrick A Todd Rope Bridge and getting fun photos along the way.
