Halloscream
Luna Park
25th Oct - 2nd Nov
Sydney’s favourite theme park will become a giant haunted house this Halloween and bring hell to the harbour! Luna Park offers Sydneysiders and adrenaline junkie visitors thrills and chills year round, but for Halloween they ramp it up a notch. Halloscream will transform the fun park into a ghoulish scare-fair with additional hair-raising adventures, roving park demons and horror-themed snacks. Rides and rollercoaster can start you off but be sure to "enjoy" the spooky mazes, the Hell Parade and the Mystery Manor haunted house; ‘tis the season. All the scares begin after dark, so show up at moonrise in your Halloween best, or pop into the Parlour of the Perished for a grizzly makeover. They’re extending the scares over five nights, so there’s plenty of time to explore all the new attractions. But if you've got baby scare seekers, beware: this event is restricted to kids over 14.
