Premium Experiences

Use your Premium Experience Tickets on any of our featured Halloween attractions:

• Love at First Bite
  Eternal love can be a dangerous thing...
  The lights are lower, the stakes are higher and our vampire lovers are looking for something more than romance.
  Step into an unpredictable tale of obsession, desire and the undead, where the audience may become part of the story. After all, there's nothing quite like a love that lasts forever.
  Interactive Experience Warning: This is an immersive theatrical experience. Performers may speak directly to guests, approach audience members and invite them to become part of the story. Contains dark themes and horror content.
• The Railway Séance
  The fortune telling takes a darker turn as we attempt to make contact with the spirits who may still linger along the railway.
  Join our mediums for an immersive séance experience as we call upon the ghosts of Don River Railway. But be careful what you call upon... some spirits may not want to leave.
  Interactive Experience Warning: This is an immersive theatrical experience. Performers may speak directly to guests, approach audience members and invite them to become part of the story. Contains dark themes and horror content.
• Phantom of the Rails
  Meet Marina Crier, a ghost trapped inside a carriage once used in a grand opera.
  After seven o'clock, however, expect the Phantom's demeanour to change into what it truly is... murderous, vindictive and oh so very, very bitter.
  Ready to join the performance?
• BeatleJuice - The Monster Mash After Hours
  The family singalong gets a little wilder after 7pm!
  Join Bradley Von Rock for a high-energy Halloween rock 'n' roll party featuring spooky favourites, classic hits and plenty of opportunities to sing along.
  The monsters are out, the music is loud and the railway is ready to party.
  Come for the music. Stay for the mayhem.
