In addition to the haunted houses, you’ll find five scare zones scattered throughout the park. These areas are filled with roaming monsters and eerie atmospheres that will keep you on edge. Don’t miss the live shows, which offer a mix of horror and entertainment to round out your night.

Rides and Attractions During Halloween Horror Nights

Several of Universal Orlando’s popular rides remain open during Halloween Horror Nights, including Revenge of the Mummy and Men in Black: Alien Attack. These rides provide a thrilling break from the scares and are a great way to experience the park’s attractions in a unique, nighttime setting.

Levels of Scariness

Halloween Horror Nights is designed to be intense and is generally not recommended for children under 13. However, the level of scariness can vary:

Haunted Houses: These are the most intense experiences, with live actors, special effects, and detailed sets designed to scare.
Scare Zones: These are slightly less intense but still filled with roaming monsters and creepy atmospheres.
Rides and Attractions: These offer a break from the scares and are suitable for a wider audience.

Day vs. Night at Universal Orlando

The event is exclusively held at night, which adds to the eerie atmosphere. During the day, Universal Orlando operates as usual, with no Halloween Horror Nights activities. This means you can enjoy the regular attractions and then stay for the scares in the evening.

Pro Tip: If you’re planning to visit during the day, check out our guide to DreamWorks Land at Universal Studios Florida for family-friendly fun before the horror begins.

Tips for Your Visit to Halloween Horror Nights Universal Orlando

Arrive Early: The event gets busier as the night goes on, so arriving early can help you experience more attractions with shorter wait times. Pro Tip: Plan to get to Universal at least an hour before the event starts to avoid traffic and long waits.
Express Pass: Consider purchasing an Express Pass to skip the regular lines for haunted houses and rides.
Stay the Day: If you have event admission the same night as your daytime theme park admission, you don’t have to exit and reenter. Instead, wait in a Stay & Scream area until the event starts for a head start.
Stay Close: Add hotel accommodations to your ticket so you can stay where you scream. Guests of Universal Orlando hotels get special access to a dedicated entry gate each event night until 7:30pm. For more information on the latest hotel options, check out our post on new hotels at Universal Orlando in 2025.
Start in the Back: Head to the back of the park first for a better chance at seeing more haunted houses.
Stay Hydrated and Take Breaks: The excitement and scares can be intense, so make sure to stay hydrated and take breaks as needed.
Enhance the Horror: Consider adding extra chills with options like the Halloween Horror Nights Express Pass, Behind-The-Screams: Unmasking the Horror Tour, or the R.I.P. Tour for a VIP experience.
