Halloween at Egeskov
On Halloween, the spooky creatures move into Egeskov, where they have taken up residence in the park by the old castle. Children and their families can prepare themselves for a spooky experience.
During the fall vacation, the garden at Egeskov is decorated with a Halloween theme.
The program is filled with both creepiness and non-creepiness for children and their families. On a tour in the garden, children can solve a treasure hunt and meet trolls and witches. For older children, things get a little spookier in the ZONE.
The Small Spooky Route
The witches have cast a curse over Egeskov, releasing the mysterious creatures from the Book of Darkness, causing mischief and spooky fun at Egeskov! If you can break the witches’ curse, you can help send the creatures back to the darkness where they came from. On your journey along the little spooky route, you will encounter witches and trolls, and lots of creepy crawlies.
The little spooky route is designed for younger children and those with delicate dispositions (up to about 8-9 years old).
THE ZONE
If you are particularly brave (and a slightly older child), you can go to the ZONE, where the scary barometer is turned up! But beware – death and horror lurk behind the hedge – the free roaming zombies and mass murderers, the butcher and the ghosts are on the loose. See if you can find your way out. You have been warned!
The ZONE is aimed at older children (approx. 9 – 13 years).
Experiences for a whole day
The playground is a fun-free zone where time is spent playing and having fun – try out the GIANT playground, get lost in the maze and see it all from above on the Tree Top Walk. Also visit the three museums with vintage cars, rescue vehicles and the Camping Outdoor Museum.
