to be a bit annoyed that my dd has just been scared witless at the sealife centre of all places !

[Debris]

I have just got back from my local sealife centre with dd1 5 and dd2 3 . It was decorated everywhere with a halloween theme , ok i can cope with that , lets face it , where isnt decorated with a halloween theme at the moment ? ! But what has shocked me is the fact that all the staff had dressed up , not just witches hats etc , but really grafic and some rather nasty costumes. At one point a member of staff in a really scary costume crept up behind a couple of little girls , when they saw her they were terrified and the youngest burst into tears. My dd1 witnessed this and straight away asked to go home , we moved onto another area , but they were playing spooky sounds , screaming etc through the sound system ! By now she was spooked and just wanted to go home. She is a really sensitive little soul and this has really upset her. Im really annoyed because I wouldnt have taken her somewhere scary , but ... the sealife centre ??? Im really cross. Worried it will give her nightmares now.

I would ring up and complain

The poor fish too

my dd would have been the same.

we would have to leave and waste the money we paid to get in.

Hallowe'en is supposed to be a bit of fun and they really should take into account that, although older children like to be scared, little ones need more careful handling and are often more sensitive.

I would definitely complain and ask for a voucher to re visit another time.

Yes , I do think I should complain , isnt even halloween yet is it ?
