The Ultimate Halloween Party for Families

For families seeking the perfect blend of Halloween fun and festive thrills, Holiday World’s Happy Halloween Weekends delivers an experience that’s tough to beat.

As someone who has enjoyed countless special events across theme parks, I can confidently say this family-friendly Halloween celebration offers everything from classic attractions to immersive seasonal entertainment, making it the ultimate Halloween party for families.

What truly sets Happy Halloween Weekends apart is how it combines the rides Holiday World fans know and love with Halloween-themed shows, activities, and décor that appeal to all ages.

Corn Mazes & Hayride

The 12 acres of corn mazes and hayrides alone are worth the visit, creating the perfect backdrop for seasonal fun. The tractor-pulled hayride winds along a charming path decorated with painted hay bales, while the impressive Good Gravy! and whisk-themed corn mazes challenge both kids and adults alike, delivering hours of autumn-themed adventure.

Seasonal Shows

But Halloween isn’t complete without entertainment, and Holiday World delivers in spades.

The Halloween All-Stars, a show filled with ghostly rockstars, competes for the crowd’s attention in the Hoosier Celebration Theater, while the Wacky Workshop of Wonders, led by the ever-quirky Professor D.R. Holiday, brings magic to life in a highly interactive performance. Younger children will love Kitty’s Dance Party, which features beloved mascots and fun tunes. Each show adds a unique flavor to the event, providing families with a range of entertainment options.

Halloween Funhouses

For those who crave a little spooky fun, two quirky funhouses bring thrills and laughs. Kitty’s 3D Candy Farm offers younger guests a playful 3D experience, complete with a spinning vortex tunnel that’s sure to leave kids giggling, while the Carnival Chaos maze steps up the intensity with its sideshow-themed frights.

Don’t worry—there’s still plenty of lighthearted Halloween charm to go around.

FREE Trick-or-Treat Trail

No Halloween event would be complete without trick-or-treating, and Holiday World’s Trick-or-Treat Trail, held in Splashin’ Safari plaza, offers free candy for kids ages 12 and under. The trail, made even more magical by Gourdon the Talking Pumpkin, is a treat in itself for little ones dressed in their Halloween best (or not—costumes are optional). And for families with dietary preferences, candy alternatives are available, ensuring everyone can join in the fun.

Halloween in the Sky

At night, the park comes alive with a Halloween-themed dance party, setting the stage for the grand finale—the Halloween in the Sky drone show. This dazzling spectacle, featuring 500 drones, paints the night sky over the corn maze with spellbinding seasonal imagery.

Holiday World Rides

Of course, the thrills extend beyond the seasonal fun. Happy Halloween Weekends includes access to Holiday World’s rides and famed lineup of coasters, including three of the best wooden roller coasters in the world—The Voyage, The Legend, and The Raven—as well as Thunderbird, the park’s popular wing coaster. Families will also love the Good Gravy! family coaster and Gobbler Getaway, a fun interactive dark ride.
