30th October-1st November
A Halloween adventure with just enough fright
A spooky experience speckled with small frights for older children and not-so-brave adults, returning from 30th October-1st November
Designed for families who want thrills without full horror, Spooky Island takes you into the misty woods for unexpected twists, live characters, and a short boat crossing that sets the mood from the start.
Cross the water and step into the woods
Your journey begins within a woodland walk scattered with small frights and ghoulish sounds.
From there, you will move through woodland scenes filled with characters, surprises, pulley bridges, live actors, sound effects, and atmospheric lighting. The full experience lasts around 30 minutes and finishes with the boat ride back.
A few practical details before you set off

Spooky Island runs from 30th October- 1st November and is best suited to children aged 8 and above, with the attraction guidance recommending it most strongly for ages 8 to 13. Under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult.
This is an outdoor experience, so come dressed for the weather and for walking through the woods. Visitors wear a buoyancy aid during the crossing, and the route includes uneven ground and narrow walkways, so it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
