Nice and eerie atmosphere 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 nice and eerie Halloween Weeks from October 1st until November 7th at Europa-Park, the time of trick or treat.

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 nice and eerie Halloween Weeks from October 1st until November 7th at Europa-Park, the time of trick or treat.

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.
One of the ultimate horror highlights for the whole family is the daily Happy-Halloween-Parade with more than 80 artists in creepy costumes. Our youngest visitors will be fascinated by the Halloween Children's Show and also the older guests can enjoy a new spine-chilling Halloween highlight this year: in our 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. In the German Alley, the little ones can learn the basics of witchcraft in our "School for Witches? and then get a creepy Halloween make-up and weird hairstyles in the Russian themed area for a small fee. Last but not least, they can visit the large Halloween-Shop and get a horrific costume. Once disguised, the visitors can dare to explore the Halloween Horror Catacombs under the Greek Village.
All those, who enjoy spending the night in a really creepy atmosphere, can stay overnight in one of our Halloween-Rooms in the hotels "Colosseo?, "El Andaluz? and "Castillo Alcazar? or in our Tipi Village.
During the last week of the season, from October 30th until November 7th, the Halloween Festival with fantastic fireworks, a special show programme and the Evening-Parade of Ghosts and Goblins will be celebrated.
From October 23rd until November 1st, Milka will celebrate Halloween at Europa-Park: All children can take part in the exciting rallye "Trick or Treat - Schoko oder Schabernack? and try to win one of the great prizes of the daily tombola.
On October 31st, we will celebrate the great SWR3 Halloween-Party, featuring the popular SWR3 DJs Michael Spleth, Stefanie Tücking and Jan Garcia, the SWR3 Band and the international artists of Europa-Park. Creepy atmosphere guaranteed! Infos & Tickets: +49 (0) 1805 / 7 88 99 7.
