October is Halloween month!
The days are getting shorter, the pumpkins are appearing and mysterious figures are popping up in more and more theme parks. That can only mean one thing: Halloween is on its way! That's why, all month long, we'll be taking you on a tour of various Halloween events across the theme park world.
Halloween at Toverland
Toverland is going all out again in 2026. During the day there are the family-friendly Halloween Days, featuring the Pumpkin Farm, entertainment and thousands of pumpkins, among other things.
As soon as night falls, the thrilling programme of the Halloween Nights begins, with scare zones and various Haunted Experiences.
