Acland’s Family-Friendly Ghoulish Ghost Tours
Join the all NEW ghastly ghost tour for 2026!
Collect your glow sticks and meet your undead tour guide at blood curdling Blessington Parklet (41 Blessington St) as they take you on a journey through the dark side of Acland Village. From iconic venues like the possessed Palais Theatre to local spooky gems, you’ll be taken on a journey into the untold and sometimes ghastly stories of the past.
You’ll meet the local ghosts and ghouls from days of old who need some help ‘crossing over’. Can you help fix their curse or complete their unfinished business? Follow along and solve the mysteries while you learn their gruesome stories. Children steely enough to get to the end of this tour of terror will collect a well-deserved sweet treat!
With jokes and larger than life characters played by the actors from Melbourne Actors Guild this interactive tour is fun for the whole family.
