A Halloween Whodunnit
Daily Kids Trail in the Garden
Young witches and wizards can explore the Garden on a daily story trail, helping Detective Snoop discover what happened to Sir Dangerous Powers, the owner of Foolish Mortal Mansion. He was found laying face down on the dance floor… but is he really dead?
Along the way, meet some of the dubious characters who live at the Mansion and find out ‘whodunnit’! You’ll also discover interactive games and family-friendly activities that will keep you entertained every step of the way.
On selected days, visit Miss Cosmic Powers in her spooky laboratory to say the magical word to receive a prize.
The trail is suitable for children aged 3 to 8 years old and takes place in the Garden.
Cost: £4 per trail, plus Garden admission to include a prize. Free to Members (Child or Family Memberships).
