We covered the Tricks for the adults yesterday so now we tackle the Treats for the kids as we list our Top 5 things to keep your little monsters amused this halloween.

1.The MAC:CarnEVIL and Palace of the Macabre

The MAC have the little ones covered with CarnEVIL and Palace of the Macabre both supplying fun and gentle frights for kids (and their adults) of all ages. Have a spooktacular time at the MAC this Halloween and creep to our CarnEVIL workshop. Become a Freakish Fortune Teller, experience mystifying makeovers, and play gory games with our MACabre artists

2.Belfast Ghost Bus

If your kids are a little more adventurous (and over 6) why not try the Belfast Ghost Bus, the spirits can’t get you on a bus right? Well maybe, or maybe not but combining tales of the creepy and spooky with some history is a great way to trick your kids into learning something in between scoffing all that trick or treat candy.

3.Boo At The Zoo

Do animals have ghosts? I have no idea, but i would guess that halloween spent at a Zoo would be the place to find out. Join Belfast Zoo for a packed day of eerie activities including: creepy crafts, face painting, bat talks, a spooky trail and a fancy dress and best carved pumpkin competition.  All the info right here.

Not really much point explaining this.  It’s halloween in a sweetie factory.  Yeah, exactly… Enjoy Halloween at Aunt Sandra’s with fancy dress, spooky candy show and scary chocolate workshop.
