encounter the sounds of nature and spot glowworms lighting the way. It's a perfect event for kids who enjoy
nature with a spooky twist.
While the event is designed to be more eerie than frightening, it’s still best suited for older children and
teens. Make sure to book early as Zealandia’s Halloween events are quite popular! To ensure everyone gets there

contests, and terrifying tours through the museum’s haunted corridors.

market stalls for children of all ages. The entire family can enjoy this street festival, which is full of
interactive activities and photo opportunities.
For after-school clubs or families looking to enjoy the festivities together, Cuba Street Halloween is a
