Children’s Fairyland, the Bay Area’s cherished storybook theme park, is brewing up something spooktacular this Halloween season. From Oct. 24 to 26, families are invited to experience Halloween Jam, the park’s classic fall celebration — this year with a mad science twist! And for the first time ever, on Oct. 31, Fairyland elevates Halloween family fun into the evening with Halloween Jam: Mad Magic!, a brand-new immersive trick-or-treat event from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.
This year’s Halloween Jam is bubbling with hands-on-eek-speriments and spooky science surprises. Families with children 0 to 8 years of age can celebrate Halloween early with three days of festive play! Halloween Jam promises themed crafts, puppet shows, activity stations, performances, costumes, STEAM activities, and classic Fairyland fun with a mad science twist.
On Friday, Oct. 31, the park transforms into an eerie and enchanting playground for Halloween Jam: Mad Magic!, Fairyland’s first ever evening Halloween experience. Families will step into a mad science laboratory full of glowing goo, bubbling brews, frightful formulas, and eek-citing experiments! With extended hours, guests can spend
Halloween trick-or-treating at Fairyland surrounded by curious contraptions, colorful creations,
and hands-on Halloween fun.
