Lots of fun activities including:
• Face painting

• HalloWings - take a selfie in front of them
• Halloween Photo Opportunities
• High Scare Zombie Zone
• Low Scare Halloween Zone
• Roaming Halloween Characters
• Spot prizes for best dressed
And scare yourself silly at the Wai Techs Halloween Haunted House
