If you're in the country during the fall vacations, you should stop by the Family Park. The biggest spooky party in Austria is taking place there. Halloween" is celebrated for a total of 13 days to scare away the evil spirits.

No new records were set due to the hot summer, but from the start of the season in mid-March to date we have had very constant visitor numbers and are already slightly above the previous year's level. We have also seen an increase in the number of groups. On the one hand, more schools from home and abroad came by, and on the other, more clubs and companies," says Lisa Wagner-Körmendi, Head of Marketing at the Family Park in St. Margarethen, drawing a very positive interim balance.

In order to increase the number of visitors by the end of the season, Austria's largest leisure and amusement park has a lot to offer its guests in the fall. The highlight will be the traditional Halloween celebrations, which will take place for ten days from October 25 to November 3 under the motto "Filippo's Scary Party".
