Witches and ghosts will invite visitors to a unique spectacle featuring extraordinary decorations, autumnal cuisine, and breathtaking shows. Germany's largest Halloween spectacle will offer thrills and magic for the whole family, transporting guests into a world of frights and enchantment.
Autumn Decorations and Atmosphere
For more than 25 years, dark figures have roamed Europa-Park during the fall season, surrounded by 180,000 regional pumpkins, 15,000 chrysanthemums, 6,000 corn plants, 3,000 straw bales, and more than 100,000 autumn flowers. Thick spider webs and mystical music complete the Halloween atmosphere.
Attractions and Ride Fun
In the 17 European-themed areas, visitors will enjoy autumn ride fun, with inattentive guests getting spooked in true ghostly fashion. The new Croatia-themed area will feature the Multi Launch Coaster "
Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac," which winds through an authentic Croatian landscape with numerous innovative ride elements—including seven inversions. The new attraction "
GRAND PRIX EDventure" will allow the whole family to embark on an interactive 3D adventure with the mascots Ed and Edda. During Halloween, the spinning ride "Koffiekopjes" will be enhanced with lightning and spooky music to become "Griezelkopjes," turning the ride into a particularly eerie experience. Spooky decorations will transform the Spanish carousel "Feria Swing" into the fearsome "Flight of the Vampires." At "
Castello dei Medici," guests will ride gondolas through the ghost castle year-round, encountering ghostly voices and eerie figures everywhere. Daring adventurers will experience terrifying performers lurking in the shadows at the daytime maze next to "
WODAN – Timburcoaster," ready to send shivers down visitors' spines. For little ghosts, the Halloween village in the French-themed area will open with frightfully delightful surprises that will make young hearts beat faster. The new short film "DINO MATES 4D" at "Magic Cinema 4D" will combine adventure and humor for all ages, inspired by "
Madame Freudenreich Curiosités" and children's books about an Alsatian grandmother who secretly raises dinosaurs.

They will be complemented by the adventurous "Silver Lake City Western Houses," camping, caravanning, and numerous leisure options.
HALLOWinter
Gingerbread or pumpkin soup? Colorful autumn leaves or rather Christmas ornaments on the tree? At HALLOWinter in Europa-Park, there's only one answer to this question: Both! Because between the Halloween season and the arrival of Christmas sparkle, the park will turn upside down and thrill with a mix of the best that both seasons have to offer. From November 3 to November 28, 2025, visitors can immerse themselves in this autumnal winter wonderland before the winter season starts on November 29.
