A venomous autumn at GIVSKUD ZOO

10th–18th October 2026

Fascinating, colourful and sometimes frightening. During the Danish autumn half-term, GIVSKUD ZOO turns the spotlight on venomous and poisonous animals from Denmark and around the world.

Meet snakes, poison dart frogs, scorpions and other intriguing creatures, and discover just how poisonous, venomous or dangerous they really are. Around the zoo, Halloween decorations add an extra touch of autumn atmosphere, while creative activities and a treasure hunt make it easy for the whole family to join the fun.

Explore the world of venomous and poisonous animals

There is something to discover every day from 10th–18th October:

  • 11 am–2 pm: Make your own pumpkin lantern – carve a scary, funny or wonderfully wonky pumpkin to take home. DKK 29 per pumpkin. (Pumpkin Workshop, P3)
  • 11 am–4 pm: Meet venomous and poisonous animals – explore an exhibition featuring fascinating species from around the world. (Oddersalen, P3)
  • 11 am–4 pm: Venomous, poisonous or dangerous? – learn through play what the words really mean and discover how dangerous different animals are. (Oddersalen, P3)
  • 11 am–4 pm: See wasps up close – get a closer look at one of Denmark’s familiar stinging insects. (Oddersalen, P3)
  • 11 am–4 pm: “Bitten, Burned or Stung” treasure hunt – follow the clues and put your new knowledge to the test. (Oddersalen, P3)
  • 11 am–4 pm: Make a colourful spider – create your own spider complete with brightly coloured legs. (Oddersalen, P3)

 

Say good morning or goodnight to the animals

Want to get even closer? Every day during the autumn half-term, GIVSKUD ZOO opens the doors to selected animal houses both before the zoo opens and before closing time

Hop aboard the safari bus for Good Morning Zoo or Goodnight Zoo and join an educational tour behind the scenes. Along the way, you can meet animals including rhinos at unusually close range and discover what happens in the animal houses outside normal opening hours.

Good Morning Zoo and Goodnight Zoo must be booked online. The experience includes admission to the zoo for the rest of the day, and annual pass holders receive a 50% discount.

 

Make a day of it

Between the autumn activities, explore GIVSKUD ZOO by car and on foot, join the popular animal feeding sessions and
make time for the zoo’s playgrounds and exhibitions.

With wildlife encounters, safari adventures and a fascinating look at nature’s more poisonous and venomous side, there
is plenty to explore on an autumn day in LEGOLAND® Billund Resort.

Leider hat das Giraffen füttern nicht geklappt da es in der Herde "Trauerfälle" gab und somit die Rangordnung nicht neu geklärt war. Hätte dadurch vielleicht abgesagt werden können. Sonst war der zoo super.
