Your guide to FAMILY Halloween events, parties and Trick or Treat in Cairns!

Scroll all the way to the bottom for Trick or Treat info
Tuesday 31st - Featured Halloween Events
Tunnel of Terror - Mary Parker Drive Redlynch
MONDAY 31st at 4 – 7.30pm.
Come along and see if you are brave enough to enter the Tunnel…….
We will have a Sausage Sizzle, Fairy Floss, Face Painting and some other cool stuff.
Good to Know: We went here last year (Saturday Night then) and it was really good, so many families, great atmosphere! However this also meant that all the local houses were slammed with kids and many had run out of TREATS very early on, like by 6-7pm. Our advice is come early then go elsewhere for more trick and treat (or if you don’t want your kids to have too many chocolates or sweets then come later lol).
