Europa-Park HALLOWinter 2026

Transition Season at Germany's Largest Theme Park

Europa-Park in Rust is considered the largest and most visited theme park in Germany and one of the most important in Europe. 18 European themed areas, over 100 attractions, more than 50 restaurants, and its own resort with six themed hotels — the park is a destination in itself. The HALLOWinter season in November combines the last Halloween period with the start of the winter season: a four-week transition that makes the park appear new every day.

Halloween Becomes Winter

The special feature of HALLOWinter is its gradual transition: In early November, Halloween decorations, pumpkin installations, spooky effects, and costumed actors still dominate the park. Mid-November, the first winter elements are mixed in — fir branches, ice crystals, white snow effects, Christmas lighting. By the end of November, the park is predominantly designed for winter. This makes visiting multiple times during the season worthwhile — every day is different.

Themed Coasters and Attractions

Several attractions are thematically redesigned during HALLOWinter: The Feria Swing swing ride becomes “Flight of the Vampires” (for children), the Eurosat roller coaster becomes the “CanCan Coaster” with Halloween effects, the Griezelkopjes (carousel with a ghost theme) are in full operation. For adrenaline junkies, the top coasters Wodan (wooden roller coaster) and Eurosat remain available as regular highlights. VR experiences: YULLBE GO in the Blue Fire Dome and Eurosat Coastiality.

Up to 23 Hours of Show Program Daily

Europa-Park offers up to 23 hours of show programming daily during the HALLOWinter season — spread across various stages and show locations. Ice skating shows, acoustic theater, acrobatics acts, and mapping projections on historical park buildings are part of the program. The program overview is updated daily and can be accessed via the Europa-Park app.
