Volo Museum's New Halloween Experience

NEW! Halloween Experience at Volo Museum

This Halloween season, Volo Museum invites visitors of all ages to immerse themselves in a variety of spooky and fun events. The museum's newest addition is the Halloween Experience Trolley Tour, which takes guests on a thrilling ride through 75 acres of eerie sights and ghostly stories. Running every weekend until November 3.



Once aboard the trolley, visitors will embark on a one-hour adventure guided by professional actors portraying the undead. The trolley travels through the darkened grounds, where ticket holders will hear chilling stories of paranormal activity and hauntings experienced by museum staff, visitors and local residents. The ride features towering inflatables, elaborate decorations and interactive elements that create an immersive experience.

Volo Museum also offers a shorter, lighter version of the fun. The Halloween Experience Express Tour provides a 30-minute excursion that’s packed with ghoulish excitement suitable for all ages. The full hour-long tour delves deeper into the paranormal lore. Both tours are suitable for all ages, but the full tour delves deeper into the paranormal lore. 

Svengoolie at Volo Museum

The beloved horror host Svengoolie will be at the Volo Museum on October 26 for a sold-out event. Ticket holders will enjoy a meet & greet and explore the museum's collection.

In addition to the Halloween festivities, Jurassic Gardens is partnering with Scale World Order to present Live Interactive Reptile Shows every second Sunday of the month. These engaging shows feature a variety of reptiles, from iguanas to pythons and are perfect for families seeking an educational and exciting experience.

These spine-tingling Halloween events at the Volo Museum offer a perfect mix of spooky thrills and festive fun, making them a memorable way to celebrate the season.
