I love a good day out.
Weβre lucky enough to have Drusillas Park in East Sussex on our doorstep – if you havenβt been Drusillas is an award-winning zoo between Brighton and Eastbourne where youβll find animals, rides and lots more.
Weβve had lots of fun at Drusillas over the years and Halloween at Drusillas is no exception when the park plays host to Shriek Week, which this year runs from Saturday October 21 to Sunday October 29.
If youβre considering a trip or looking for some half term fun hereβs 5 reasons to visit Drusillas Park at Halloween.
5 reasons to visit Drusillas Park at Halloween
1. You can use it as a bribe. If you live in East Sussex like we do we have a two-week October half term this year. Two weeks! And if youβre a stay-and-work-at-home mum like me the chances are youβll be going batsh*t mental by the end of the first week and youβre going to need some days out planned. And thereβs nothing like the prospect of a day out to use as a bribe.
2. Thereβs something for all ages. From tattoos and face painting for the easily spooked younger ones to a twisted terror maze with real-life mummies for the older ones, youβll find something to keep the whole family happy.
3. Thereβs a haunted house. The parkβs tower is transformed into Haunted Heights, the home of witches Hocus & Pocus with cobwebbed corridors and a trap door hiding a ghostly secret. BB canβt wait.
4. They can touch creepy crawlies. The parkβs Discovery Centre is home to mini monsters including insects, spiders and slimy molluscs which the kids can touch. And if youβve got your own mini monster like I do the chances are theyβre going to love it.
5. You can meet Scooby-Doo. Scooby-Doo will be making appearances throughout the day on Wednesday October 25 β and who doesnβt love a bit of Scooby-Doo?!
Have you been to Drusillas Park before? Do you have any days out planned over October half term? Iβd love to hear your recommendations!
