Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early, especially on peak days, to maximize your time enjoying the rides and attractions before the Halloween mazes get busy.
  • Check the specific show times for the Halloween Sooty Show and Bump in the Night Magic & Illusion Show upon arrival to plan your day.
  • Consider booking a 'Spook-Fest Break' for an overnight stay to fully immerse yourself in the Halloween atmosphere without the rush.
  • The 'Trick or Treat Trail' has an additional cost; decide if it's worth it for your little ones when booking your tickets.
  • Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be doing a lot of walking between attractions, and layers are recommended for changing October weather.
