HallOVeen at the Magical Forest Opens Oct. 3 for the Halloween Season  

LAS VEGAS (September 29, 2025) – The 12th Annual HallOVeen at the Magical Forest takes over Opportunity Village's Smith Family Campus from Oct. 3-Nov. 2, and tickets are on sale at www.Halloveen.org. As one of the primary fundraisers for Opportunity Village, attending HallOVeen directly supports people with disabilities in Southern Nevada.

The family-friendly Halloween theme park features live entertainment and a haunted cemetery walk through the Magical Forest while surrounded by hundreds of decorated trees and jack-o-lanterns. Admission includes unlimited rides on the Forest Express Train, Avalanche Slide, rounds of mini golf, Cheyenne's Enchanted Carousel, and the Whirl 'n' Twirl. Attendees also receive a trick-or-treat bag and are able to enjoy trick-or-treating at the event.

"HallOVeen marks the start of event season at Opportunity Village, and we can't wait to celebrate with the Las Vegas community," said Bob Brown, president and CEO of Opportunity Village. "Every dollar you spend enjoying HallOVeen will help us provide more necessary program services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Las Vegas area."

HallOVeen is open from 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 3-5, Oct. 10-12, and Oct. 17- Nov. 2. The Holiday Shoppe and retail kiosk sell gifts, goodies, and treats, and specialty menu items are available at HallOVeen throughout the season, making it the perfect option for a fun night out. In addition, iHeartMedia Las Vegas is an official HallOVeen partner, and three radio stations will be on-site during the event – Sunny 106.5, 95.5 The Bull, and 93.1 The Mountain – to hand out candy and prizes to attendees.

Throughout the season, attendees can enjoy special themed nights at HallOVeen, included with cost of admission. On Oct. 3-5, celebrate Pirate Week with eye patch and pirate hat crafts, and dress up in your best pirate garb. On Oct. 10-12, attendees can create magic wands and upcycled potion bottles during Witch and Wizard Week at the Magical Forest, and from Oct. 17-19 Ghouls and Ghosts Week takes over with a paper plate masks art activity and ghost lollipops. Oct. 24-26 is Monster Mash Week, and attendees can create monster puppets and slime jars. Then, celebrate Día de Los Muertos at HallOVeen from Oct. 30-Nov. 2 with special activations, including a paper marigolds, sugar skulls, and papel picado craft station. On Oct. 20, HallOVeen will welcome local dogs to the park with Pumpkin Paws, and attendees can create bandanas for their four-legged friends and create paw print canvases. Water stations will be available for pets throughout the Magical Forest, and all pets must remain on a leash. All craft and activity stations are while supplies last.
