Is it too scary for my 7-year-old?

You set the pace. Rooms range from gentle shivers to an intense scare, the scariest ones are marked on site, and you can step out to a quiet room or a craft corner at any time.

Is it open on Halloween?

Not with the regular ticket. On Saturday, October 31 the FEZ holds the GeisterGala instead, 3pm to 9pm, with theater, dance, music and comedy. It needs its own ticket: €8, or €6.50 each for two or more.

Do we pay extra for anything inside?

The stage shows are part of Geisterwelten, and times are in the day's program posted on site. The orbitall space center, the Astrid-Lindgren-Bühne theater and the pool each need a separate ticket.

Should we bring anything?

If you'd like to add to the Día de los Muertos altar on the Mexican market square, bring a photo or small keepsake of a person or pet you remember.

About

The FEZ turns into a giant haunted house. Kids explore dark cellars, a graveyard greenhouse and a whispering attic, crack an escape room, ride a ghost train and catch spooky theater and comedy on stage. Each family sets its own scare level: the most intense rooms are marked, and quiet rooms and craft corners give a break. Some rooms talk openly about death and grief, with counselors on hand.

€6.50, or €5 each for 2 or more
