For those who can’t wait until 31 October to start celebrating Halloween, MOTIONGATE Dubai, the region’s largest Hollywood-inspired theme park, has a special trick-and-treat in store! Starting on 8 October, guests can enjoy an array of Halloween activities at MOTIONGATE™ Dubai as it transforms into the UAE’s scariest family destination.

During the month of horror, from Wednesdays to Sundays starting from 4.00pm, guests are invited to discover the park’s frightful decorations, live entertainment, scare zones, and new haunted houses, filled with gruesome and terrifying surprises.

What’s happening there

The Legend of the Weeping Shadow scare zone investigates a vengeful ghost who is rumored to roam waterfront areas. Meanwhile, the Freak Show scare zone takes guests to the circus, where sideshow horrors and maniacal clowns roam around.

Guests can also explore the park’s haunted houses, each more terrifying than the next! Lights Out takes visitors on a trip into the darkness as the electricity is rattled by evil spirits. Meanwhile, in Slasher, a shadow haunts the halls and takes the shape of the guests’ greatest fears. And Crypt of the Vampire has an ancient vampire’s coffin gone missing, but so have those who went looking for it.

The Halloween Fright Nights activities will end on a high note each day with The Nightmare Dimension Parade, where Halloween characters will walk through Studio Central, the main boulevard, just before park closing providing great photo opportunities for visitors and the potential to encounter the evil mastermind known as “The Boogeyman”.

Like always MOTIONGATE™ Dubai has something for everyone and will also be offering child-friendly ‘not-so-spooky’ Halloween festivities so the little ones don’t miss out on the fun, including meet and greet opportunities with your favourite Halloween characters, Halloween Candy Grab, zombie themed food, and limited-edition scary merch.
