Halloween for the whole family

Thick fog is settling over fallen leaves, weird creatures are lurking in dark corners and eerie laughter makes the visitors shiver with fear – Halloween has come to Europa-Park! From 27 September to 2 November more than 150,000 pumpkins and 200 skeletons will transform Germany’s biggest theme park into a creepy Halloween landscape where scary witches, goblins, ghosts and demons gather for spooky roller coaster rides including a truly terrifying ride inside a giant pumpkin.

Halloween has been Europa-Park´s autumn highlight for ten years as thousands of visitors arrive every year to scare themselves witless. Created around 12 European themed villages, which play host to over 100 attractions and shows, Europa-Park is spread over an area of more than 70 hectares and is home to some of the scariest and tallest rides in Europe. Creepy Halloween highlights around the park will include:

• Happy Halloween Parade – fun for the whole family with more than 80 artists in spooky costumes to play tricks on the visitors
• Pumpkin carving - more than 350 different types of pumpkins will be on display at Europa-Park and visitors can have a go at carving their own Halloween pumpkin
• Spooky specialities – enjoy the wide range of creepy snacks including Red Dracula sparkling wine, “Blood Punch”, Halloween-Muffins, spicy Pumpkin-Paprika-Chilli, breaded Potato-Ghosts and Pumpkin Soup
• Terenzi Horror Nights 2 - Marc Terenzi, American singer, and Michael Mack from Europa-Park, will frighten the visitors at this special performance from 7.30pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 26 September and daily from 23 October (recommended for visitors who are 16 years or older)
• Halloween festival - during the last week of the season, from 25 October to 2 November, things get especially creepy. The Evening-Parade of Ghosts and Goblins and a giant horror spectacle “DJ BoBo goes Halloween” are some of the highlights of the Halloween festival

After an adventurous day in Germany’s biggest theme park visitors can stay in an Italian style 4-star superior hotel “Colosseo” or in two Spanish themed 4-star hotels “El Andaluz” and “Castillo Alcazar”. The “Santa Isabel” hotel is designed like an old Portuguese monastery and yet offers all the comforts of a modern 4-star hotel.
