Halloween in Las Vegas for Kids, Teens, and Families

HallOVeen at the Magical Forest

Dates

Oct. 9–31 (opening weekend Oct. 2–4 already happened)

Hours

5:30–9pm Sun–Thu, 5:30–9:30pm Fri–Sat

Where

Opportunity Village, 6300 W. Oakey Blvd.

Cost

From $24, tickets here

Still the best all-ages Halloween night in the valley, and it’s in year 13. The Forest Express train, the carousel, mini golf, a 50-foot slide, trick-or-treat stations and a lit-up haunted path that’s spooky without sending anybody home in tears. One big change: tickets are now date-specific, so you pick your night when you buy. Don’t roll up on a Saturday expecting to walk in. Every ticket funds Opportunity Village’s programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Parade of Mischief at Downtown Summerlin

Dates

Fridays & Saturdays: Oct. 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24

Time

6pm

Where

Park Centre Drive, Downtown Summerlin

Dozens of local kids, dancers and floats take over Park Centre every weekend night. This year’s floats borrow from Wicked, Harry Potter, Hocus Pocus, Cruella and The Addams Family, plus a Día de los Muertos float. Heads up, the last parade is Saturday, Oct. 24, not Halloween night. Grab a curb spot by 5:45 and make dinner at Downtown Summerlin part of the plan.

Trick or Treat Fest LV

Dates

Fri & Sat, Oct. 16–17

Hours

6–10pm

Where

Clark County Museum, 1830 S. Boulder Hwy., Henderson

Cost

$15, family 4-pack $50, 6-pack $75

Kids trick-or-treat down the museum’s Heritage Street, which is eight real historic houses moved onto the property, the oldest from the 1910s and one built for Hoover Dam workers. Throw in live entertainment and costume contests and you’ve got the most unusual trick-or-treat route in Southern Nevada. Details from Clark County.

Kingdom of Zombies

Dates

Fri–Sun nights through Halloween weekend, plus Thu, Oct. 29

Where

Las Vegas Sportspark, Summerlin

Cost

$35 general admission, $45 Haunt Pass

The Summerlin Paintball crew built a haunt meant for families: two zombie mazes (Zombie Escape and Raccoon City) plus a Museum of Monsters. The $45 pass adds a glow-in-the-dark zombie hunt. It’s the right next step for kids who’ve outgrown Haunted Harvest but aren’t ready for Asylum.

Halloween Express at the Nevada State Railroad Museum

Dates

Weekends starting Oct. 10 (Oct. 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and on)

Time

5:30–7pm

Where

Nevada State Railroad Museum, Boulder City

A 30-minute train ride with costumes and treats, then a monster mash dance party and costume contest back at the station. Zero jump scares, which makes it perfect for toddlers. Pair it with an early dinner in downtown Boulder City.

Haunted Harvest at Springs Preserve

Dates

Thu–Sun, Oct. 22–25

Hours

6–8:30pm (members get in at 4pm)

Where

Springs Preserve, 333 S. Valley View Blvd.

Cost

$14 non-members, $8 value members, free for 2 and under

The pick for preschoolers. Trick-or-treat stations wind through the BOO-tanical Garden, with crafts, live shows and food trucks along the way. No haunted-house scares. Tickets are online only and attendance is capped, so buy ahead. It’s a cashless venue, and overflow parking is at Meadows Mall.

Hallow-Reef at Shark Reef Aquarium

Dates

Fri & Sat, Oct. 30–31

Hours

10am–8pm

Where

Shark Reef Aquarium, Mandalay Bay

Cost

Kids 5–12 in costume $5, 4 and under free

Trick-or-treating through the shark tunnel. Five bucks for a costumed kid is the best family deal on the Strip all week, and it runs during the day, so it works for the early-bedtime crowd.

Tricks & Treats: Nevada Day at ScAREA15

Date

Fri, Oct. 30

Hours

12–4pm

Where

AREA15, 3215 S. Rancho Dr.

School’s out for Nevada Day, so AREA15 is doing a free afternoon of trick-or-treating and games. Kids get a free treat bag. Wear costumes.

Town SCARY at Town Square

Date

Sat, Oct. 31

Hours

4–7pm

Where

Town Square, 6605 Las Vegas Blvd. S.

The old reliable. Shops and restaurants hand out candy, there’s a costume contest and family activities, and it’s walkable from one end to the other. Bring your own bag. In past years candy has run low toward the end, so don’t show up at 6:45.

Monster Mash on Main at The District

Date

Sat, Oct. 31

Hours

Not posted yet, check closer to the day

Where

Main Street, The District at Green Valley Ranch, Henderson

Henderson’s Halloween night on Main Street. Kids trick-or-treat at participating shops, classic monsters roam around, there’s live music and local vendors, and costume contests are split by age group so the babies aren’t up against the 10-year-olds. Free parking in the surface lots and garages.

Halloween at The LINQ Promenade

Caesars hasn’t posted its 2026 Halloween schedule for the Promenade yet. Expect décor, costumed street performers and themed food and drink specials over Halloween weekend, and last year Chayo threw a Día de Brujas and Día de los Muertos party over the same weekend. We’ll update this once the lineup is out.

Universal Horror Unleashed at AREA15

Dates

Open year-round, select nights

Where

AREA15, 3215 S. Rancho Dr.

Cost

From about $59, prices change by night

The most polished scare in town, full stop. Four houses (Universal Monsters, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scarecrow: The Reaping and The Exorcist: Believer) built by Universal’s theme-park team. October weekends get pricey, so a weeknight saves real money. There’s a cheaper “Fraidy Cat” ticket for the friend who just wants the bars and the atmosphere.

Asylum & Hotel Fear

Dates

Through Oct. 31, Thu–Sun, plus Wed, Oct. 28

Hours

Thu & Sun 6:30–10pm, Fri–Sat 6:30pm–midnight (Oct. 29 runs to 11pm)

Where

Meadows Mall north lot, 4300 Meadows Ln.

Twenty-six seasons and still the biggest walk-throughs in town by footprint. One ticket covers both houses, which makes it the best scare-per-dollar on this list.

Sin City Halloween Ball

Date

Sat, Oct. 31

Where

The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, 4455 Paradise Rd.

Theme

Lost Vegas Wasteland

Thirty years in and still the city’s go-to costume party. The dress code is mandatory and people go all out, so a store-bought cape won’t cut it. Get a sitter.
