Guests will also be treated to an intimate magic show by the folks at X-SCAP8, and can even participate in a Scare Dress Parade and stand a chance to win attractive prizes

This year, Museum of Ice Cream is celebrating the occasion with a spook-tacular experience from the 1st to 30th of October, where you can actually go trick-or-treating while you explore each room. Here, be sure to look out for their candy cauldrons and fill up your bags will cool confections at the different installations while completing some tricks.

As part of the extravaganza, you can also expect an unlimited flow of desserts, a seasonal menu over at the Cafe & Bar and an uncanny adventure full of interactive installations. But beware – at some stations, you’ll be given the option to choose between two different ice cream flavours, of which one of these flavours will come as an unexpected surprise.

What’s more, you can get your fortune read by the mysterious ice cream fortune teller, so be sure to keep a lookout for her as she has set up camp at one of the corners of the museum.

Once you’re done exploring the installations, we recommend that you sit back, relax and enjoy a few drinks over at the Cafe & Bar. Some of the drinks from the specially curated Halloween menu that will be available during the event, include The Haunted Milkshake, Witch’s Brew Cocktail, and Graveyard Sundae.
