Te Takeretanga o Kura-hau-pō’s Haunted Library presents House of Horror! The library has been taken over by the monsters of classic film and page! Dr Frankenstein is looking for fresh body parts, the Wolf Man stalks the stacks, Count Dracula himself has risen from his coffin, and is that just the wind, or is there something ghostly following you through the shelves…?

Careful which corner you turn, or you’ll find yourself trapped in a terrifying nightmare from which there may be no return!

Beginning in the Youth Space, courageous participants will be taken through a twisting path by guides that winds through all areas of the library, and (hopefully) end up alive and well at the Main Entrance.

Doors open at 4:45pm
“Fright Sessions” start from 5.00pm – for families and younger children
“Terror Sessions” start from 8.00pm – for older children (recommended 12+)

Each session runs for approximately 15 minutes and has a maximum limit of 20 participants - session priority will be given to pre-purchased ticketholders. Please arrive 10 minutes ahead of your session time.

While this event is intended for a wide range of attendees, every child’s tolerance for spooky content differs. Please consider your child’s comfort when deciding if this event is suitable. If the experience becomes too frightening, staff will be available to remove affected participants promptly.
