Tayto Park has announced the return of its freakishly exciting Halloween treasure hunt.

The much-anticipated "Tricky Trail" is set to thrill and delight your little ones this Spooktober with scary stories, spell casting, magical performances, and fun! On arriving at the Ashbourne theme park and zoo, you will have to collect a Tricky Trail map to find all the lost items, leading to a Halloween trick-or-treat bag.

Step inside the Haunted Halls and take a seat at the 'Scare Chair' for a frightful family photo opportunity before the trail begins. Continue the Halloween adventure through the Wandering Walkthrough and Ghoulish Graveyard, before gathering around the Hatters Hut for storytelling and some tea party fun!
