Halloween between fun and relaxation
From scare to experiences for the whole family: how to enjoy the Halloween long weekend with museums, virtual reality and interactive gardens
There are numerous ways to call the night of October 31st, just as there are many ways to celebrate it all over the world, including costume parties and scary thematic events. However, not everything is just about the thrill. According to Tiqets, a leading platform for online booking of museums and attractions, Halloween in Europe is progressively turning into a more relaxed and fun holiday.
Thanks to the mild climate and the possibility of getting a few days of vacation with a few hours of leave, the period between the end of October and the beginning of November becomes perfect for spending time with the family in a light and pleasant way.
Among the activities selected for these days of celebration are experiences ranging from animal encounters to botanical gardens, interactive museums and virtual reality attractions. The proposals include something for everyone, whether it's young couples looking for a touch of romance, families with curious children or parents looking to entertain teenagers immersed in the digital world.
Animal Encounters
Many prefer attractions to spend carefree hours with the family , which is why they choose oases and aquariums to live special experiences, capable of entertaining while still communicating important messages, such as respect for animals, their habits and their natural habitats.
