FEAR FACTORY 2026 FAMILY FRIENDLY
SPOOKY ATTRACTIONS
Are you as fearless as you claim? Or will you be terrified by the horrors within?
Shellton Motel
Check in to the Shellton Motel – but beware what lingers in the rooms. Once a friendly stop for weary travellers, the motel now holds more than memories. Strange footsteps echo down the hall, doors creak open on their own, and ghostly figures are said to wander the night. Families who stayed here long ago never truly left, their stories etched into every wall and whisper. Dare you explore the Shellton Motel and uncover the secrets of its haunted past?
Quinlens & Co.
Step into Quinlen’s & Co. Bakery, where the shelves are stacked high with cakes, pies and bread fresh from the oven. But venture a little further and you’ll discover the bakery’s secret passageway. Beneath the shop floor lies a maze of twisting sewers, dripping pipes and hidden tunnels. Visitors will weave through crumbling brickwork, dodge leaking water, and uncover the strange creatures and forgotten secrets that lurk under the bakery.

Join us for an afternoon of spooky dance tunes, lively atmosphere, and interactive roaming characters that will get you right into the fearless mood.
