Ghouls and goblins to join dinos for Wicked Walk and Hallowe'en fun at Newpark Hotel Kilkenny

Hallowe’en will be a spooktacular experience at the Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny where their seasonal celebrations are of prehistoric proportions.

Over the midterm break, your family can watch dinosaurs, ghouls and goblins come back to life on a ‘wicked walk’ through the hotel’s famously family friendly attraction, Jurassic Newpark.

The Wicked Walk activities include ghoulish face painting, halloween themed fun and games, eerie dino talks by the Deadly Dino Ranger and spooky ghost stories by the Wicked Witch which will leave you howling with delight.

Visitors can also visit the enchanted fairy trail, wildlife farm and adventure playground with zip wire and go kart track or unearth hidden bones and fossils on a dino dig - just be careful not to dig up any cursed relics.

Rounding off the freaky fun will be a spooky scavenger hunt as kids will be challenged to find haunted items hidden throughout the prehistoric playground, which can be done at your own pace.

Jurassic Newpark will be seasonally decorated with pumpkins, bats, cobwebs, skeletons and monsters who come out to play in a truly interactive experience. Make sure to get your kids into the ‘spirit’ of things by dressing up in a frightfully good Halloween costume or their favourite scary dinosaur outfit for the outing.
