PortAventura turns gloriously spooky from 19 September to 15 November 2026, with haunted houses, family shows and nighttime spectacles. Most entertainment comes with park admission, but premium scare attractions cost extra. Here's how to plan your visit.
Giant pumpkins, cobwebs, creepy characters and seasonal decorations take over PortAventura Park. Start with the rides and themed streets during daylight, then stay for roaming monsters, atmospheric lighting and the evening finale. Allow a full day; fitting in several paid haunted houses takes additional time.
Investigate a murderous butcher in Far West, escape ghostly pirates at La Isla Maldita or enter a horror-film nightmare at REC® Experience. The five premium passages require separate paid access; choose individual entries or a Halloween Passport bundle.
SésamoAventura has music, colorful costumes and child-friendly characters, while Truco o Trato offers a gentler spooky walkthrough. Family-friendly shows, including El Día de los Muertos and Halloween Magic Bubble, keep the experience playful rather than terrifying.
Catch the new Resurrection mystery-and-dance production, Halloween Factory's energetic choreography, and West Blood Frenzy's Wild West action. These PortAventura Halloween shows bring acrobatics, costumes and theatrical horror into the regular park entertainment programme.
The PortAventura Halloween Parade brings costumed characters and themed floats through Mediterrània. Then Horror en el Lago turns the lake into a spectacle of fire, water jets, music and fireworks on scheduled nights. Check the show calendar before planning your departure.
SésamoAventura · Included with admission · Family-friendly
Halloween comes to Sesame Street with cheerful songs, colouful costumes and familiar characters. It's made for younger visitors who prefer dancing over jump scares. A good first stop before the bigger shows, particularly for families with preschoolers who want some seasonal fun without being chased by anything sinister.
China · Included with admission · Under 12s need an adult
Follow friendly ghosts through an enchanted forest inhabited by witches, fairies and magical creatures. The challenge? Find the enormous pumpkin marking your escape. There's even a sweet treat for children. It's PortAventura's gentler Halloween passage, although visitors should still check its health and accessibility restrictions.
México · Included with admission · Family-friendly
The park's Mexican-themed area celebrates the Day of the Dead with spirited dancing, music and colouful costumes. Rather than traditional haunted-house horror, this is a lively performance inspired by Mexican festivities, with the living and the dead sharing the stage. Especially fun for families who enjoy live entertainment.
China, Templo Mágico · Included with admission · Family-friendly
Giant bubbles, shifting reflections and clever visual effects turn an ordinary soap bubble into something rather extraordinary. This gentler indoor show is particularly good for young children and visitors who need a breather from the louder productions. No murderous villains necessary; the bubbles do all the entertaining.
Family programme · Included with admission · Check daily schedule
This family-oriented production adds a playful Halloween twist to PortAventura's entertainment. It's a suitable alternative for children not ready for full horror passages. Consult the daily programme for its performance location and available showtimes, as these are not consistently specified on the seasonal overview.
Far West, Long Branch Saloon · Included with admission · Mystery and dance
Something supernatural has checked into the Wild West saloon. This new 2026 production brings together mysterious spirits, theatrical storytelling, and choreographed dancing, playing with the boundary between life and death. One to prioritize if you've experienced PortAventura Halloween before and want something new this season.
China, Gran Teatre Imperial · Included with admission · Musical spectacular
Think elaborate monster costumes, dramatic lighting, acrobatics and choreography performed at full theatrical volume. Halloween Factory swaps haunted corridors for a large-scale stage production, where eerie characters become dancers and performers. It's one of the strongest options for visitors who want a proper Halloween spectacle without paying for a scare passage.
Far West · Included with admission · Action show
Far West gets a decidedly darker storyline with The Treasure of Penitence. Expect theatrical confrontations, Wild West characters and action that fits the dusty frontier setting. It's a lively choice for older children and adults who prefer staged adventure to the enclosed, actor-driven scares of PortAventura's haunted passages.
Mediterrània · Included with admission · Family-friendly
The PortAventura Halloween Parade brings the park's creepy residents together for a procession of elaborate floats, costumes, music, and supernatural characters. It's the moment when the entire park seems to join the party. Find a viewing position in Mediterrània before the parade begins, particularly on busy October weekends.
Mediterrània Lake · Included with admission · Nighttime finale
When darkness falls, sinister skeletons and supernatural creatures appear over the lake as water jets, flames, music and synchronized fireworks transform the waterfront. This is the spectacular finish to PortAventura World Halloween on scheduled evenings. Check the operating calendar, as it requires a sufficiently late park closing.
Note: The following first five experiences are paid attractions and require a separate ticket. Please check before visiting.
Far West · Intense gore horror · Age restrictions apply
A 19th-century frontier town is plagued by disappearances, and the sheriff suspects the local butcher knows more than he's admitting. Venture through his butcher's shop and slaughterhouse, uncovering increasingly disturbing evidence. This new attraction leans into graphic, gore-inspired horror rather than playful Halloween mischief.
Caribe Aquatic Park · Ages 12+ with adult; 14+ alone
A cursed Caribbean island has been overrun by ghostly pirates, shipwreck survivors and creatures who aren't particularly keen on visitors leaving alive. Walk over 1,000 metres through multiple frightening environments, with more than 50 performers involved. This is an extended scare experience, not a quick haunted-house walkthrough.
Polynesia · Intense horror · Age restrictions apply
Inspired by the Spanish REC horror-film franchise, this experience plunges you into a world of disturbing scenes, infected characters and sudden scares. If grainy found-footage horror gives you nightmares, this probably will too. Ideal for fans who prefer psychological tension and movie-inspired terror to conventional haunted-house decorations.
México · Haunted passage · Age restrictions apply
Inspired by the imagery and traditions surrounding Mexico's Day of the Dead, this immersive passage takes visitors into a supernatural celebration where the boundary between the living and the dead becomes rather thin. Unlike the colorful family stage performance, this is a dedicated scare experience with an extra admission charge.
China · Approximately 20–30 minutes · Ages 12+ with adult; 14+ alone
Enter an ancient temple haunted by Rajakarn, a cannibal king whose dark alliances have left the grounds anything but peaceful. Expect sinister encounters and actors who interact directly with visitors. The temple's jungle setting and extended passage make it particularly atmospheric.
Polynesia–China pathway · Included with admission · Scare zone
An ancient emperor's curse haunts the route between Polynesia and China, where eerie characters and supernatural encounters turn an ordinary walk into a nerve-racking passage. This is a good option for visitors who want an extra scare without purchasing one of the five premium haunted-house tickets.
