Halloween is fast approaching, and Auckland is the perfect place for families
to get into the spooky spirit.
From family-friendly events to eerie after-dark adventures, there's no shortage of places where kids (and
adults!) can have a fantastic Halloween in Auckland this year. If you’re part of an after-school activity club
or a parent looking to create lasting memories with your children, there are plenty of exciting activities
waiting for you. Plus, with bus
hire Auckland needs sorted by The Coach Company NZ, you can focus on the fun
while ensuring everyone travels safely.
Here’s a look at the best spots for Halloween parties and activities in Auckland this year.
1. Spookers Haunted Attraction
No Auckland Halloween is complete without mentioning Spookers, one of New Zealand's top haunted attractions.
Located just outside of the city at Kingseat Hospital, this terrifying experience caters to older kids, teens,
and adults. With haunted mazes, live scare actors, and intense special effects, it's perfect for thrill-seeking
groups who love a good scare.
For families with younger children, Spookers also offers more kid-friendly options during the day, ensuring that
even the littlest ghosts and goblins can enjoy Halloween. If you're planning a group outing, why not use The
Coach Company NZ to get everyone there together? You'll travel in comfort while keeping the spooky vibes high!
2. Auckland Zoo's Halloween Experience
Auckland Zoo never misses out on
Halloween fun, offering a spooktacular
experience for kids and animal lovers
alike. Every year, the zoo transforms into a haunted adventure with spooky decorations, activities, and
Halloween-themed animal encounters. Dress up in your scariest costumes and roam the zoo at dusk to experience
the magical and eerie atmosphere.
The zoo often hosts Halloween events tailored for younger kids, making it an excellent choice for after-school
activity clubs and families. With plenty of space and activities to enjoy, the whole day can be a Halloween
adventure. For a stress-free trip, The Coach Company NZ offers reliable bus
hire for group transport, perfect for getting the kids and their families to the zoo and back.
3. Motat's Halloween Night Lights
One of the most fun and interactive Auckland Halloween experiences is the annual Night Lights event at MOTAT
(Museum of Transport and Technology). Kids of all ages will enjoy the glowing displays, creative costumes, and
engaging activities that take over MOTAT during Halloween.
Families can explore the museum’s historic exhibits, which have been transformed into spooky attractions, while
kids can get involved in themed games and arts and crafts. MOTAT’s Halloween celebrations also include plenty of
photo opportunities, making it a fantastic place for after-school clubs and family groups.
Arranging transportation for larger groups is a breeze with The Coach Company NZ, ensuring everyone arrives and
departs with ease, ready for a night of spooky fun.
4. Crowded House Reunion Tour
Step back in time with a haunted twist at Howick Historical Village’s annual Halloween night. The village’s
1800s buildings are transformed into eerie, haunted attractions, making it the perfect place for history buffs
and Halloween lovers. Kids can trick-or-treat through the village, encounter spooky characters, and explore the
dimly lit streets in their Halloween best.
The historical setting, complete with themed actors, brings Halloween to life in a truly unique way. It's a more
relaxed, atmospheric experience than a typical haunted house, so it works well for families with younger
children. If you're travelling as a group, The Coach Company NZ is the perfect choice for getting everyone to
the village and back home safely after a fun night.
5. CornEvil at Sweet Red Strawberries
For something a little different, check out CornEvil at Sweet Red Strawberries. This Halloween-themed corn maze
in Clevedon is ideal for younger children who want fun (but not too scary!) Halloween adventure. Kids can
explore the maze, collect treats, and participate in family-friendly activities, including pumpkin carving and
face painting.
The rural setting gives the perfect autumnal atmosphere, and it’s a great day out for families or after-school
groups. Getting a group to Clevedon can be a bit of a journey, but The Coach Company NZ ensures everyone enjoys
a comfortable and convenient ride, no matter the distance.
6. Sylvia Park’s Trick-or-Treat Event
For a more urban Halloween adventure, head to Sylvia Park Shopping Centre, where kids can participate in an
annual trick-or-treat event. It’s a chance to collect candy, meet other costumed families, and enjoy the festive
decorations that line the mall. With lots of shops participating, kids will feel like they’re trick-or-treating
through a Halloween wonderland.
As this is a popular event, parking and transport can be tricky, but The Coach Company NZ can take care of your
group’s coach hire, ensuring you avoid the
hassle of finding parking and
navigating busy roads.
