Join Dennis the Menace and his friends to become conservationists

The Beanotown kids are set to arrive at Whipsnade Zoo this month and take visitors on a conservation adventure all summer long.

The world’s longest-running weekly comic comes to life at the zoo between July 22 and September 4 – as Dennis, Dangerous Dan, Harsha and Rubi Von Screwtop inspire the next generation to save the world’s wildlife.

Families can try Dennis the Menace’s giant seed slingshot and help Beanotown’s number-one prankster grow a wildlife garden. They can take their very own seed bomb home to scatter themselves.

Kids can learn about the atmosphere’s harmful gases in our atmosphere in Harsha’s Tent of Trumps, or play hide and seek to find Gnasher. Comic fans can also take home a special souvenir.

On four Saturdays in July and August, the zoo will stay open for a few extra hours. Beano activities are free with zoo entry and there is no extra charge for ‘Summer Saturdays’.

Whipsnade Zoo doubles as Beanotown for kids conservation activities
