Spooky Halloween Weeks in Germany's biggest theme park: Halloween fun for the whole family
Evening dusk at Europa-Park. Ground mist is settling over fallen leaves. Yellow and orange pumpkins, illuminated by flickering candles, are spread along the ways. Suddenly, eerie laughter, horrific creatures appear from the dark - a shudder running down your spine, your heart standing still: these are the spooky Halloween Weeks from October 1st until November 6th at Europa-Park.
The Halloween Weeks have been a very special highlight in autumn at Europa-Park since 1998. The themed areas Germany, Russia and Italy are turned into a truly creepy Halloween landscape with countless yellow, orange and white pumpkins, corn plants and bales of straw. The spooky illumination invites ghosts, witches, goblins and magicians to gather at Europa-Park for a big Halloween spectacle.
The Horror Catacombs are a special Halloween attraction for Europa-Park's most courageous visitors. Deep down beneath the Greek village Mykonos the visitors can enter the dungeon of horror, where weird prison inmates linger in dark corridors, waiting for their "victims? - the ultimate horror shocker for all fans of Halloween! A bizarre horror experience for the entire family is the daily Happy-Halloween-Parade with more than 80 artists in creepy costumes. Europa-Park's youngest visitors are thrilled by the Halloween Children's Show on the open-air stage in Italy and also the older visitors can enjoy a spine-chilling Halloween highlight this year: in the Magic Cinema, Europa-Park presents the horror film "Haunted House? in 4D (not suitable for children under 8 years).
In the Magical Garden, visitors can carve their own pumpkins or visit the big pumpkin exhibition with over 60 different kinds of pumpkins. On the Opera Stage in front of the Swiss Bob Run, the little visitors can watch an enchanting and bewitching Children's Show performed by the Clownduo Brasil and then get a creepy Halloween make-up and weird hairstyles in the Swiss themed area for a small fee. Last but not least, they can visit the large Halloween-Shop and get a horrific costume.
All visitors who just can't get enough of the creepy Halloween atmosphere can spend the night in one of our Halloween-Rooms in the hotels "Colosseo? and "El Andaluz? or in the Tipi Village.
During the last week of the season, from October 29th until November 6th, the Halloween Festival with fantastic fireworks, a special show programme and the Evening-Parade of Ghosts and Goblins will be celebrated every evening. Especially for the festival week Europa-Park offers a Halloween-Evening-Ticket at the price of 9,00 ?. The evening ticket can only be bought at the box office and is valid from 5 pm on.
In cooperation with the German radio station SWR3, the big SWR3 Halloween-Party is organised in Germany's biggest theme park on October 31st. Thousands of weird creatures are lingering in dark corners, hiding from bats and following the nice and eerie music in the Silver Star Dome, Festival Hall, Europa-Park Dome, Media Hall and Teatro dell'Arte where all fans of Halloween can dance and celebrate together with the popular SWR3 DJs. In addition, some of the attractions at Europa-Park are opened longer exclusively for visitors of the SWR3 Halloween-Party.
