Haunted FEZ in the autumn holidays

Ghostly Worlds

For Children Aged 7+

Cold winds are blowing through the Wuhlheide. It was exactly 12 months ago that the very bravest guests first opened the doors of the haunted FEZ. Since then, a lot of rumours have been going around. Some might be true, some might be false. But one thing seems clear: something very spooky is stirring in the FEZ.

Dare to venture once more within the four shadowy walls of the FEZ and feel how the very foundations begin to stir. Listen carefully to the noises in the corridors - the cackle of a witch, the whisper of a ghost, the crescendoing drum beats of a Mexican festival of death.

Are you ready for a scare? Then hold your breath... and enter!

Educational Advice For Parents

The Ghostly Worlds event gives children the chance to experiment with fear and discover potentially scary things in a safe and tailored environment. The playful set-up is designed to encourage kids to test and maybe even take a step beyond their limits - but always with the knowledge that their family is there for support. In many ways, it's similar to the emotions surrounding sleeping in their own room for the very first time.
This challenge, whether faced together or with a degree of independence, promotes a sense of self-assessment. After all, fear as an emotion is a part of life and an emotion that needs to be learnt and understood.

Foyer

Well done! You've made the first step and ventured inside the haunted house. Prove you were here with a photo in the antique carriage and calm your nerves with a ghastly bubbling drink. If you're going to be here for a while, you'll need somewhere to sleep - make yourself a beautiful coffin! Twice a day, there's a spooky on-stage programme to give you the creeps.

Graveyard & Greenhouse

As you head outside past the shadowy cemetery, it's only natural that your knees might start to tremble. But keep going and you'll reach the greenhouse. Although, truth be told, you might smell the greenhouse first. Here, if you dig in the earth, you'll learn a lot about the eternal circle of life and death.

The Attic

Head on up into the attic and see how memories come alive. Help build an oversized doll's house complete with spooky rooms. At the dance workshop, you can create dance moves to give your own memories fresh meaning and recall voices from the past.

The Cellar

Where better to be around Halloween than the cellar? A guided tour into the catacombs of the FEZ will take you past abandoned dungeons, ghostly shadows and dark chambers. The old control centre is also down here, although no messages have been sent for at least 45 years. But...wait...is the phone ringing?!?!

Halls & Chambers

Meander on into the side wing, stop off in the old library and listen to some ghost stories, test coffins in the funeral parlour or escape from the Hanted Hotel and into the bizarre soundscape within the music room.

In The Neighbourhood

Halloween really comes to life along the FEZ Avenue. This is where you can make spooky puppets and lanterns, have your fortune told or get your face painted. Head on further to the Mexican Marketplace and you'll soon be catapulted into the fascinating and colourful rituals of Dia de los Muertos.

The Silence Of Death

What happens to the body when we die? What is a hospice? And why do people who have died not freeze in their grave? A visit to the funeral parlour is a chance to ask all the burning questions you have about death. In addition, you can listen to classical concerts in the chapel, create your own comic on the subject of death or build a coffin for your own funeral.
