Step into the world of Netflix’s The Creature Cases with a new interactive trail at Marwell Zoo this February half term.
Work together this half term to crack clues, uncover hidden secrets, and solve The Case of the Missing Pebble in a family-fun adventure at Marwell Zoo this February half term (15 February - 24 February).
Detectives Sam Snow and Kit Casey are on the case - but they can’t do it alone! One of the penguins' precious pebbles has mysteriously vanished, leaving the colony in a flap. Junior detectives can pick up an activity pack* and follow a trail around the zoo to solve clues, and uncover the location of the missing pebble.
After cracking the case, celebrate your success by collecting a sticker and adding a pebble to a penguin mural at Penguin Cove.
Meet Marwell’s mascots, Lenny the lemur and Sammy the snow leopard appearing daily between 11am and 2pm and tuck into gooey marshmallows and tasty s’mores on the firepits.
Don’t miss Marwell’s latest arrivals. The zoo is celebrating a significant milestone – the birth of a coppery titi monkey, marking the first successful breeding of this species at the zoo.
Coppery titi monkeys are monogamous, meaning they mate for life, with males taking on primary caregiving responsibilities shortly after birth. Born to first-time parents Taco and Mr Titi, keepers say the one-week-old is thriving and Mr Titi is carrying the baby on his back between feed times.
When coppery titi monkeys rest or sleep, they show their love by wrapping their long tails together in a special move called “tail twining.”
Discover hundreds of rare and endangered animals including
Amur tiger, red pandas and Rothschild’s giraffe in 140-acres of stunning
parkland. Wander through Wallaby Walkthrough, explore a lush rainforest in the
Energy for Life: Tropical House and go wild in five adventure playgrounds.
