Powerland Halloween: A Wizard's Challenge
Families board a historic double-decker trolley and a vintage MAX car to follow clues and help Sherlock Holmes solve the mystery of a missing fairy. Along the way, guests encounter costumed characters, see an antique steam traction engine in action, and explore the trolley museum barn. Children can also examine Sherlock's Observation Garden, play games, and decorate a small white pumpkin in the Kids' Activity Center.
