Hop aboard the Swansea Bay Rider for a spine-chilling journey along the scenic promenade this Halloween. The popular land train gets a spooky makeover for its special ghostly rides during the October half-term. Why not dress up in your best Halloween costumes to add to the eerie atmosphere? Every child receives an "I Survived the Halloween Ghost Land Train 2026" certificate to remember their ghostly adventure. The earlier session provides a less scary experience for younger children and visitors with additional learning needs.
