Halloween at the Avio Castle

Special thrill tours and fun themed treasure hunts for children and families scheduled between late October and early November

Cultural exhibitions and events

Between the end of October and the beginning of November, the FAI - Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano (National Trust of Italy) will be enveloped in the atmosphere of Halloween. 

The majestic Castle of Avio, in Sabbionara di Avio (in the province of Trento), - the stronghold of the noble Castelbarco family, which stands on the mountainside within a circuit of crenellated walls with towers, now occupied by a lush garden - will be the scene of two engaging themed initiatives for pleasant moments of entertainment for young visitors, their parents and carers.

In particular, from Wednesday 26 October to Friday 28 October, and from Monday 31 October to Friday 4 November, from 10.00 to 17.00 (last recommended admission at 16.00), children aged 4 - 14 are invited to take part in the "Treasure Hunt - Halloween Special," an original game activity within the castle walls, discovering the mysteries of this fascinating medieval castle.

Thanks to the use of a personal paper map, and through games and puzzles, children will learn about the history and spaces of one of the most evocative manors in Trentino, while having fun.

The activity is included in the admission ticket. No booking required

Tickets: free admission for children aged 0 - 5; reduced price ticket for children aged 6 - 14: € 4. 

Reduced price ticket € 8; family ticket (two adults with children over 6 years old): € 21.
