The Halloween Trail at Discovery Land
Welcome to The Festival of Nature’s Hallows!
Join us this October and immerse yourself in a world of spooky wonder, where families can embrace the thrill of Halloween while connecting with the captivating beauty of our natural world.
As summer turns to autumn, we rely on our fickle friend The Weather Witch to balance the weather for a fruitful pumpkin harvest.
However, this season holds a peculiar twist. Due to the unpredictable climate, she is struggling with her weather spells leading to storms and bucketloads of rain. And all this rain has brought back the mischievous Mud Monsters!
Put on your wellies, sing for the autumn sun, and join us to calm the Weather Witch’s storm. Follow Fern, Timber and Pebble’s Tranquil Tricks to help restore the balance and banish the Mud Monsters, and you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful pumpkin rainbow!
The Festival of Nature’s Hallows promises a spellbinding adventure for all the family, combining gentle spookiness with an immersive exploration of the woodlands and a celebration of our natural world.
