Skyline Melbourne Scare Park

Melbourne’s skyline is about to get spooky! This Halloween, the Skyline Melbourne Scare Park is taking over Polly Woodside Park, right outside the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, for two fright-filled weekends of eerie entertainment, family fun, and thrilling scares.

Running from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 October, and again from Thursday 30 October to Sunday 2 November, the Scare Park promises something for everyone, from little monsters to thrill-seeking grown-ups.

Skyline Melbourne Scare Park

By day, families can enjoy free Halloween arts and crafts, trick-or-treating, and face painting, plus a spin on the Ferris Wheel with frightfully good views of the Yarra. The atmosphere is light-hearted and festive, perfect for younger visitors.

When the sun sets, though, the park takes a darker turn. From 7 pm, brave souls can enter the Haunted Maze — designed by the same minds behind Hollywood Horrors — or take in the spooky street performers and themed drinks at the South Wharf Social Bar, featuring chilling cocktails, pizzas, and witches’ brew lemonade.

For those who like their scares served with a side of fun, there’s also mini golf, toffee apples, and plenty of photo ops along the river.

For more information and to book your tickets, visit Skyline Melbourne.
