More Halloween themed fun includes a movie screening of “Liar, Liar Vampire”, haunted zones, clowns, stilt walkers, balloon sculptures and face painting.
To keep everyone on the right track, each child will get a helpful map with directions to all the activities, plus a goody bucket to fill with Halloween treats.
Tickets for Halloween are available at the gate and at Computicket. They are priced at R100 for adults and R60 for pensioners and children between the ages of four and twelve.
