Creepy Campfire Tales
This Halloween season, gather around W5’s campfire for a new Halloween experience: Creepy Campfire Tales. A ghostly storyteller will weave a web of spine-tingling tales, reviving the ancient tradition of telling spooky stories under the stars. From haunted houses to ghostly beings and things that go bump in the night, our storyteller has an array of tales suitable for young and old—some creepy, some funny, but all with unexpected twists.
As you enter the ‘AMAZE’ space on Level 4, a cutting-edge blend of special effects will transport you to a hidden forest clearing surrounded by towering trees that seem to close in around you. This immersive environment will make it feel like you stepped straight into the pages of a ghost story, with holographic projections flitting through trees, casting eerie shadows that dance across the forest floor. At the same time, mysterious lights flicker in the distance, suggesting unseen presences watching from the darkness.
Whether you’re a Halloween enthusiast, a lover of ghost stories, or simply seeking a unique seasonal experience, W5’s Creepy Campfire Tales promises unforgettable fun for the whole family. For further information about Creepy Campfire Tales, click here.
