Prepare to be frightened and amazed Halloween at the Europa Park Resort

Germany’s largest theme park is celebrating the spookiest time of the year again: from 27 September to 2 November 2025, all kinds of witches and ghosts will immerse visitors in a unique experience. Europa-Park is celebrating Germany’s biggest Halloween event. Visitors are transported into a world of horror and magic with extraordinary decorations, autumnal culinary delights and breathtaking shows. Guests can also experience both parts of Europa-Park’s eerily beautiful SPOOK ME! musical. After dark, the most fearless visitors can delight in the multi-award-winning horror spectacle Traumatica – Festival of Fear. The Rulantica water world also shows its spooky side, offering the perfect opportunity to escape even the gloomiest of autumn days. After hours of excitement, guests can relax at the Europa-Park Hotel Resort.

For more than 25 years, mysterious figures have roamed Germany’s largest theme park in autumn, surrounded by 180,000 pumpkins from the region, 15,000 chrysanthemums, 6,000 corn plants, 3,000 straw bales and more than 100,000 autumn flowers. Thick cobwebs and eerie music complete the Halloween atmosphere.

Adrenaline-fuelled thrills

The 17 European themed areas offer fun for all the family in autumn too – and anyone who isn’t careful may find themselves scared out of their wits by the ghosts’ tricks. Visitors can discover the latest themed area, Croatia, where the absolute highlight is the Voltron Nevera multi launch coaster powered by Rimac. The rollercoaster winds its way through an authentic Croatian landscape with plenty of innovative ride elements, including seven upside-down loops. This year’s new attraction, GRAND PRIX EDventure, is packed with action, offering the whole family an interactive 3D adventure with Europa-Park mascots Ed and Edda.

To celebrate Halloween, the ‘Koffiekopjes’ spinning teacups ride will be transformed into creepy ‘Griezelkopjes’ with lightning effects and spooky music, making the ride a truly special, scary experience. Spooky decorations also transform the fast-paced Spanish carriage carousel Feria Swing into a terrifying Flight of the Vampires. At the Castello dei Medici, guests are taken on gondola rides through the haunted castle all year round, complete with ghostly voices and spooky figures.

Guests looking for a thrill will love the Day Maze located next to the WODAN – Timburcoaster. In this haunted house, terrifying actors lurk in the shadows, ready to send shivers down visitors’ spines.

For little ghosts and ghouls, the gate to the Halloween village opens in the French themed area, where terrifyingly wonderful surprises await. It’s a place full of spooky Halloween moments that will capture the imagination of younger visitors.

If you’re feeling peckish after all that action-packed riding or a good scare, visitors can enjoy some very special seasonal treats. As well as tasty dishes featuring pumpkin and other autumnal ingredients, there are also traditional Oktoberfest specialities on offer. The popular pumpkin sculpture exhibition in front of the historic Balthasar Castle is also a feast for the eyes.

Fun Halloween specials

This autumn, Europa-Park has a spooky yet beautiful show programme in store for the whole family. The elaborately staged Supr’ice presents The Vampire Circus on Ice show, the spectacular Ed’s Halloween Parade and other captivating performances by eerie creatures provide top-class entertainment multiple times a day. Whether dancing skeletons, mysterious witches or other sinister figures – goosebumps are guaranteed here.

Following the overwhelming success of Europa-Park’s SPOOK ME! musical and the equally great success of its sequel last year, both shows will be included in Europa-Park’s anniversary season programme free of charge and can both be enjoyed on the same day. At Europa-Park Teatro, guests can experience the magical story of the haunted castle, Prince Tao, Lilly, King Borbar and the sinister fairy Isperia in a mysterious, emotional and thrilling performance. On selected dates, guests can enjoy SPOOK ME! 2 – Musical & Dinner: after the second part, the performers will accompany guests to the historic Balthasar Castle, where an autumnal dinner with live music awaits. On 19 October, there will also be an exclusive special event, SPOOK ME! 1 & 2 – Musicals & Taste, with a welcome reception, both performances and various food stations.
