Looking for a Halloween outing with children in Alicante that lasts longer than a single afternoon?
In Santa Pola, just a few minutes from Alicante, Pola Park undergoes a complete transformation for the spookiest season of the year. And not just for one day: for almost two months.
Themed decorations throughout the park, haunted walkthroughs, original shows and activities designed for the whole family. Fun frights that make you laugh, without overwhelming the little ones.
Here we explain what to expect, when to visit, which ages it suits and how to plan your trip.
When is Halloween at Pola Park?
The Halloween season at Pola Park runs from 12 September to 15 November.
That means plenty of weekends to choose from, not just the night of 31 October. Pick the one that suits you best, enjoy a relaxed visit and even come back for more.
That is the big difference compared with neighbourhood or local council celebrations, which are great but take place in a single afternoon. Here, you have almost two months to enjoy it at your own pace.
Two nights really stand out during the season: the Boo Parties on 24 and 31 October. These are the most special dates. Find out more just below.
Opening times vary from day to day, so it is worth checking before you visit. You can check the calendar and opening times to choose your date.
Boo Parties: Two special Halloween nights at Pola Park
If there are two dates to mark in your calendar, they are 24 and 31 October.
On those two nights, from 18:00 to 00:00, Pola Park hosts its Boo Parties. When regular opening hours end, the park changes.
Special lighting, characters roaming the park, parades, haunted walkthroughs and shows that can only be seen on these nights.
Add to that more than 20 rides, a themed snack, games with prizes and a costume competition. And to round off the night, fireworks.
Boo Parties require a separate ticket from regular admission. With it, you can return to the park free of charge the following day, subject to capacity.
Season pass holders can come too, but you need to reserve your place from 5 October. Places are limited.
You will find all the information, ticket options and the VIP experience on the Halloween Boo Parties page.
Halloween shows: original productions you won’t find anywhere else
This is what really makes the difference.
At Pola Park, we produce our own Halloween shows. These are not borrowed entertainment acts or an improvised street parade: they are shows with stories, characters and several performances a day. Something you will not find at local festivities or other outings in the area.
Here are the shows waiting for you this season.
Escape Spell… Failed? The funniest and most frightening sisters arrive from old Salem. An escape spell has brought them here, but things have not gone as planned. Watch out for what they conjure up.
Dead Talents! The dead are preparing their annual visit to their relatives for the Day of the Dead. Before they leave, the charismatic host of the “Dead Talent Show” gets them into trouble they never saw coming. Colour, humour and a thoroughly Mexican spirit.
The Cursed Show. A very unusual troupe has been repeating its performance for more than 400 days because of a curse. Exhausted and pushed to their limits, they will do whatever it takes to break it. Will they succeed?
Danger: Spiritual Portal Open! A chaotic married couple opens the doors to a world where nothing is as it seems. Love and hate, life and death, all mixed together through voodoo. The most immersive show of them all.
Each show has several performances throughout the day. You can see all the shows and their schedules to plan your visit and make sure you do not miss any.
Haunted walkthroughs and Halloween theming throughout the park
At Halloween, it is not just one ride that changes: the whole park does.
The entire park dresses up for the occasion, with spooky decorations around every corner. Characters appear by surprise, entertainers bring the walkways to life and little details make strolling around part of the experience.
There are also haunted walkthroughs for anyone looking for a little more excitement.
And everything is designed for families. There is plenty of fun to enjoy with young children, as well as corners with a little more intrigue for those seeking extra thrills. Every family can find its own level.
An outing for the whole family: rides, food and costumes
Halloween may take centre stage, but the rest of the park is still there to enjoy.
The rides at Pola Park cater for all ages, including the familiar favourites and the ones little children love most. The Halloween theme is the icing on the cake, not the whole experience.
Between rides, it is nice to stop for a meal or a snack without leaving the park. Dressing up adds to the fun: it is not compulsory, but it makes the day more colourful and children love it.
Variety, atmosphere and a full day out. That is the plan.
Halloween prices and tickets
There are different ticket types depending on what you need. For this season’s current prices, it is best to check prices and tickets directly on the website.
The Boo Parties on 24 and 31 October are separate events with their own tickets.
If you are thinking of visiting more than once during these almost two months, take a look at the season pass. It makes the most sense if you want to come back during Halloween and keep enjoying the park at Christmas.
And if you are visiting on a busy day and want to make the most of your time, there is Popi Express to help you get around the park more quickly.
