Designed especially for younger children and their families, the show combines dancing and imaginative storytelling to create a Halloween adventure that's full of magic.

Inspired by the bestselling children’s classic, the family-friendly attraction offers the perfect introduction to Halloween, giving guests a chance to step into the enchanting world of Room on the Broom and become part of the adventure themselves.
