Ghouls boasts a number of Halloween fun activities designed to appeal to children 12 and under. Kids of all ages will enjoy the Trick or Treat Trail packed with 20 themed treat stations. Then make your way to festival field where there is fun for everyone with games, inflatable slide, the Gypsy Mystery Maze and the best place to shake your “ghoul thing”- Monster Mash. For the more adventurous youngsters, the Haunted Hayride is back with some new “tricks and treats” of its own!
