This Halloween Camera Obscura & World of Illusions is inviting ghoul busters to join in the Haunting Halloween Hunt, running daily until 3 November 2024.
Whether you’re a seasoned Halloween fanatic or a first-time trick-or-treater, there’s spine-tingling surprises for all ages!
Lovable mascot, Dizzy, has transformed into five Halloween characters. Visitors will need to keep their eyes peeled for Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, Werewolf, and more as they search for Dizzy in his spooky costumes throughout the attraction. Hunt them all down and claim your well-earned sweet treat at the end.
The whole attraction will be decked out in creepy décor, from ghostly projections and eerie portraits to bone-chilling photo opportunities. Special Halloween-themed exhibits include the freakishly fun Severed Head illusion, the haunting OptiMusic to create spooky soundscapes, and interactive puppets lurking in the Colour Shadow Wall.
Adding to the eerie atmosphere, Camera Obscura’s Ghoulish Guides will be telling local Halloween legends and ghost stories as part of the Camera Obscura show – bringing a perfect blend of chills and thrills to the experience! Expect to see the venue filled with pumpkins, spooky lighting, and immersive sound effects. Don’t forget to wear your best costume and get into the Halloween spirit!
General Manager, Andrew Johnson, shared his excitement: “At Camera Obscura, we love a good surprise, and Halloween gives us the perfect excuse to get playful and creepy! Our 171-year-old attraction has plenty of its own mysterious history, and this year we’ve added even more spine-tingling twists that visitors of all ages will enjoy.”
Take advantage of the Early Ghoul Getter Discount – visit at 8.30am or 8.45am from 19 October to 2 November 2024, and you’ll enjoy 20% off admission when you book online. When it comes to Halloween, Camera Obscura said they like to get ahead of the fun…
