Halloween in Paris with the Family: Where Can You Get a Thrill Without Getting Too Scared?
Paris and its surrounding area are offering activities designed for children. According to the Paris Tourist Office, Halloween events run from October 17 to November 1.
Disneyland Paris: The Disney Halloween Festival
From September 26 to November 1, 2026, Disneyland Park will be decked out with pumpkins. Disney villains (Cruella, Jafar, Captain Hook) will make an appearance in front of the castle. A special Halloween event will take place on October 31. The park is accessible via the RER A line from downtown Paris.
Jardin d'Acclimatation: Dia de los Muertos
In the heart of the Bois de Boulogne, the Jardin d'Acclimatation celebrates Dia de los Muertos from October 3 to November 1. The atmosphere blends thrills with Mexican folklore. Admission is free for children under 80 cm. The grand parade is free to watch, but there is still an admission fee to enter the park.
Parc Astérix: “Fear in the Park”
A little further north of Paris, Parc Astérix is hosting its month-long Halloween event. It's perfect for families who enjoy thrills.
What to Do in Paris During All Saints' Day, Beyond Halloween?
Even if the fall weather is unpredictable, there’s no shortage of family outings in Paris. The Paris Tourist Office recommends, in particular:
- The Louvre: Daily creative workshops and themed guided tours.
- The Cité des Sciences: interactive exhibits designed for children.
- The Grand Gallery of Evolution: the exhibition “In the Footsteps of the Dinosaurs.”
- Le Musée en Herbe: a Pokémon exhibition, on view through April 18, 2027.
- The Palace of Versailles: the Grandes Eaux Musicales, through November 1.
Alternate between a day at the park and a day at the museum. That way, the kids will have enough energy to last the whole trip.
