Parques Reunidos Offers Diverse Halloween Programme at Its Parks

(eap) More than 20 European leisure destinations operated by the Spanish Parques Reunidos Group are currently hosting Halloween events. Alongside traditional horror attractions such as haunted houses and live scare actors, the amusement and animal parks are introducing new experiences for the whole family.

At Parque Warner Madrid, children can become inventors in the new “ACME Experience” – inspired by the fictional ACME company from the Looney Tunes universe – and embark on a mission to find a secret candy recipe. For horror fans, the evening event “Halloween Scary Nights” has been expanded to include two new scare zones and a new haunted house, among other additions.
