We love Halloween so much that we have themed our kids' party rooms at our Outdoor Activity Park. Our favourite room is our "Walking Dead" themed Zombie Party Room.
But we also run events as well as sell Halloween products.
Why not try our "Zombie Uprising " event? You play the part of a special forces operative with missions to save the world from a Zombie Horde, but with real actors running around the map, dressed as Zombies, they will do all they can to stop you.
