The 6th Annual Powerland Halloween is underway, and our opening weekend brought fantastic feedback from families who loved the adventure. This is a zero-scare, family-friendly Halloween experience filled with mystery, imagination, and hands-on fun. This year’s theme is The Case of the Missing Fairy: A Trolley Museum Mystery.
Autumn, the tiny fairy responsible for Oregon’s brilliant fall colors, has vanished. Without her, pumpkins stay white, leaves refuse to turn, and fall simply won’t arrive. Sherlock Holmes is convinced Ember the Dragon is behind it. Lenora Holmes isn’t so sure. Now your family becomes the detectives.
Climb aboard Powerland’s historic double-decker trolley and former MAX Light Rail car, follow clues along the railway, explore the museum, meet curious characters, and uncover what really happened to Autumn. This year’s adventure is more open-ended than ever — you choose where to investigate and which clues to trust.
