Visitor tips

  • To make the most of the experience, go in early and stay as late as possible. You'll find mornings to be best for families, but the park turns darker and scarier post-sunset.
  • The only way to explore all things scary is to get your hands on the Halloween Passport. Don't forget to pick those up when you enter!
  • While there’s so much to choose from, make sure you check the age ratings. Some attractions are 12+ years or 16+ years. Plan accordingly if visiting with kids.
  • If it’s not obvious enough, costumes are very much encouraged! Just make sure you are following the park’s costume guidelines.
  • Weekend crowds are wild! To make your visit truly enjoyable, go on weekdays or early in the season to avoid the biggest crowds.
  • Get the PortAventura app for real-time wait updates and show schedules. It will help you make the most of your day!
  • This sounds basic, but it’s easy to forget to stay hydrated when you’re running from zombies and dancing with skeletons. Keep drinking plenty of water.
  • Since nighttime is considered best for the spooktacular event, layer up. The nights get chilly—perfect for ghostly mists, less so for flip-flops!
