The Nightmare Realm, voted as Europe’s best scream park, has made it’s return for Halloween season 2024!
Resurrecting its ghoulish home in Mary’s Lane City Market, Dublin, the frightening experience is open to the public until November 1.
Adding Village of Fear XV – a brand new, spine-chilling experience packed with fun, fear and thrills to its haunting CV, we here at Extra.ie decided to see if it was worth the hype.
This year’s experience features five terrifying new scare mazes, each more terrifying than the next.
You’ll also encounter interactive secret rooms and an expanded Museum of Horrors during your journey
But of course, there has to be something for the more squeamish members of the group, with a food court on site and more immersive entertainment in their onsite festival village, Halloween Town.
From tarot readings to temporary tattoos, there truly is something for all Halloween addicts, depending on how much you want to raise your heartrate.
We here at Extra.ie would consider ourselves somewhat connoisseurs of all that goes bump in the night, but alas The Nightmare Realm’s latest additions got the better of us early on.
The Village of Fear XV kicked off with a new addition, adult sized coffins adorning one of the walls, a feat we thought we were well able for until it felt as though we were being buried six feet under Dublin’s fair city.
It seems the inhabitants of the village have gotten less hospitable that last year, with every building inhabiting a new devilish demon to overcome.
Without giving too much away, it’s safe to say we left the Nightmare Realm both shaken and stirred and in dire need of an adult beverage.
However, it was clear to us that you can explore the village in multiple ways, with a number of hidden side quests and varying degrees of terror on offer, perfect for the whole family.
Whether you’re planning a bonding session with friends or looking to make family date night that bit more festive, we’d highly recommend checking it out. They seem to spare no expense in order to get you screaming!
