The Forbidden Planet of Ooze

A two‑tiered Halloween experience like no other – family friendly adventure by day, PG‑13 scares by night. Enter at your own risk.

About the Event

The Gainesville Fear Garden is teaming up with Camp Makerie and Makerie Workshop to bring you an all‑new Halloween journey. Inspired by our creative after‑school program, this year’s haunt transports you to the Forbidden Planet of Ooze – an interstellar world dripping with mysteries, slime and mischief. During the day we welcome families to explore, craft and play in a whimsical atmosphere; at night the planet awakens with creatures and slime monsters that will raise goosebumps (without any blood or gore). Every ticket supports our 501(c)(3) educational programs for young makers and storytellers.

Discover The Forbidden Planet
