October 10–31:
6 – 9:30 p.m.
Stop in for a spell as the Paradise & Pacific Railroad is transformed into a haunted park of fun for our annual Halloween Spook-Track-ula! This family-friendly event is perfect for kids of all ages. We’ll creep it real with the event’s highlight—a spooky train ride created with children in mind… a little spooky, but never too frightening.
Event Details
This year, we’re making a few changes to keep the fun running smoothly:
- Wristband Required: Only guests with wristbands will be permitted on rides.
- Timed Entry: Choose from three arrival time slots — 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., or 8:00 p.m.
- Check-in for the 6:00 p.m. slot begins at 5:30 p.m., and the first train departs right at 6:00 p.m.
