What you need to know
- Full-contact scares, kid-sized: performers come up close, so talk it through first with a child who is wary of masks

- Parents pay the kids' price, and every ticket includes the shuttle bus and an RMV transit ticket
About
Frankenstein Halloween has scared Germany since 1977, and on its kids' days it turns its monsters loose for families. At the Königstein Castle ruins, costumed witches and creatures roam the scare zones, aiming for laughs and playful frights rather than horror. Kids explore the old fortress, meet the monsters and watch the shows on the main stage. It suits kids who enjoy a spooky thrill; very anxious kids may struggle.
