Witches and werewolves will be prowling the
Village Walk at uShaka Marine World this Halloween as part of the spine-chilling
Halloween parades that takes place every weekend until November 2 and 3.
That’s why, getting the shivers will have
nothing to do with a dunking at Wet ‘n Wild and everything to do with visits to
uShaka’s House of Fear created by renowned set designer Greg King and eerie
Phantom Ship. uShaka is going all out to trick and treat its visitors in the
lead up to one of the world’s most fun-filled festivals.
Even the friendly Village Walk has a spooky
corner as you’ll discover at the “House of Fear" where doors creak and
ghoulish characters, coffins and blood spills greet the wary explorer. With
surprises around every corner, you can get into the Halloween spirit for just
R40. (NB: Not for children under the ages of 13).
A splash of magic is added to the whole
terror-ific Halloween experience with a jaw-dropping dolphin experience on
October 26 and 27 at 16h00.
You’ll be led by colourful Halloween
characters and the kids will be offered the opportunity to fill their
goody-bags from all the retail stores in Village Walk as they Trick or Treat to
their hearts’ content. The trick or treat tour - led by Durban designer and
stylist Kevin Ellis and featuring his terror-rific costumes - will take youngsters
to the Wreck Aquarium in the Phantom Ship where, at 17h30, the uShaka Sea World
dolphins will entertain young and old in a be-witching show.
Written and directed by Charon Williams Ros
and featuring everybody’s favourite characters - Flotsam & Jetsam - played
by Rory Booth and Brendan Mendes. The two chums encounter some Halloween
problems with mean and bossy witch Wilhelmina (played by Peter Court) who will
stop at nothing to get her own way! The show features song and dance and is
aimed at children young and young–at–heart features well known songs like Somebody’s Watching Me, These Boots are made
for Walking and the traditional showstopper Thriller.
Dress to impress according to this year’s
witches and werewolves theme. A freaky fancy dress competition will mean prizes
for the best-dressed and most scary outfits. Tickets for the Halloween dolphin
show cost R110 (adults & kids under 12). Children under 3 are free.
Performances take place on October 26 and
27 at 16h00. Tickets are limited, so book well in advance at Computicket
outlets or at the uShaka Marine World ticketing office. For more information visit: www.ushakamarineworld.co.za or
