Spooking goings-on at Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny

Get ready for a spellbinding Hallowe'en midterm at Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny.

From Saturday, October 26 to Sunday,   November 3, embark on a magical journey where dinosaurs, wizards, and ghouls collide in a fun-filled, spooky ‘Wicked Walk’ adventure through the hotel’s renowned family attraction, Jurassic Newpark.

On the walk, you’ll experience fun, thrills and chills as dinosaurs come back to life, ghouls appear around every corner, and magical moments await in the brand-new wizard’s sanctorium. This enchanting event is open to all, not just hotel guests, though those staying at the hotel get complimentary access.

This Halloween, Jurassic Newpark is introducing a thrilling new addition – a world of wizardry where your young witches and wizards can brew potions, cast spells, and meet familiar magical characters. It’s an immersive experience that will leave little ones buzzing with excitement.

The Jurassic Newpark Wicked Walk is packed with other spooky fun, including:

  • Ghoulish Face Painting: Become your favourite spooky character.

  • Terrific Treats Station: Decorate and devour your own chocolate apples.

  • Halloween Fun & Games: Enjoy plenty of tricks and treats for the whole family.

Beyond the Wicked Walk, families can:

  • Explore the enchanted fairy trail, wildlife farm, and adventure playground.

  • Embark on a dino dig to unearth hidden bones and fossils—but beware of cursed relics!

  • Take a ride on the magical Newpark Express train.

The entire park will be seasonally decorated with pumpkins, cobwebs, bats, and skeletons, offering an interactive Halloween experience for the whole family. Be sure to get into the ‘spirit’ by dressing up in a spooky costume or your favourite dinosaur outfit!

With more of a spooky than scary feel, the Halloween festivities at The Newpark Hotel are suitable for children under the age of 11, and remember, this is an outdoor event so bring waterproof and warm clothes. Keep the family fueled all day and ‘trick-or-treat’ yourselves to spooky snacks from the Snack Shack.

The fun at Jurassic Newpark doesn’t stop there! Burn off some energy at the air covered inflatable adventure park called Jurassic Bounce for only an additional cost of €3 per child (for 30 minute session).

A day trip to Jurassic Newpark is a must this Halloween midterm. It’s a chance for families to enjoy a wickedly fun day out with plenty of activities and interactive experiences. Pre-book your visit online at jurassicnewpark.com. Tickets are limited, so be sure to secure your spot early!
