Halloween Events for Kids at Dubai Parks and Resorts: Legoland and Motiongate

Dubai Parks and Resorts is on Sheikh Zayed Road, opposite Palm Jebel Ali. It reopened on 7 October 2026. Legoland is the one for young children. Motiongate's Halloween event is made to frighten.

19. Halloween at Legoland Dubai

Legoland's Halloween is already running, and the park's own FAQ says it is not scary. Children follow a candy trail for free sweets, build a LEGO pumpkin and hunt for ghosts in Miniland. They can also watch a 4D film and three shows. All of it is included in a day ticket. A costume is welcome, and you do not need one.

• When: Selected dates from 7 October to 2 November. Opening hours change from day to day, so check the hours for your date.
• Price: AED 295 online and AED 330 at the gate. No separate child price is listed.
• Ages: The park is aimed at ages 2 to 12. Some rides have a height limit: 120 cm for The Dragon, and 105 cm for two smaller rides.
• Book: Buy a day ticket online from the Halloween at Legoland Dubai page. It is AED 35 cheaper than at the gate.

20. Fright Nights IX, Motiongate Dubai

Fright Nights is on this list as a warning. It is a scare event, with no family programme announced for 2026. The two experiences named so far are based on the horror films SAW and The Strangers. In 2025 the park also had family Halloween fun in the daytime, but that was 2025.

• When: 7 October to 8 November. The days of the week and the times are not listed.
• Price: Park tickets start from AED 295. No separate Fright Nights ticket is listed.
• Ages: No age rule is listed. Do not take a young child until the park gives one.
• Book: Day tickets are on the Motiongate day ticket page. The park's Fright Nights page still shows the 2025 event, so ask about ages before you buy.

How to Choose a Halloween Event for Your Kids in Dubai: Price, Age and Date

So which one? Three things usually decide it: the price, your child's age and the day you are free.

Let's start with the price. Here is the lowest price for one child at each event:

Remember that a parent pays too at most events. At the City Walk run, one adult and one child pay AED 75. At a hotel brunch, the adult price is the bigger part of the bill.

Next, age. Only a few events give an age rule, so use these three questions:

Then the date. Halloween events in Dubai start well before 31 October:

Most families will go out on the Saturday itself. Here is that day by the clock, so you can plan one event or two:

Halloween Events for Kids in Dubai Still to Be Announced for 2026

Some well-known family events ran in 2025 and have no 2026 date yet. Every detail below is from 2025, so do not plan around these prices or dates. Last year, most of them were announced in the last week of October.

• The Haunted Garden, Al Barari. In 2025 it ran from 31 October to 2 November, from 3pm to 9pm, at AED 149 per person. Al Barari Playground's page now shows 31 October, 1 and 2 November with no year, and a Haunted House at AED 59. No Halloween ticket is on sale on Platinumlist yet, so wait until one is.
• OliOli, Al Quoz. Its Halloween page shows "30th October to 2nd November" with no year, included in tickets from AED 139 for one child and one adult. The pictures are from 2025. Check olioli.ae.
• The Green Planet, City Walk. In 2025 the Haunted Rainforest ran from 28 October to 3 November at AED 139 for residents. Its website has nothing for 2026 yet.

• Global Village. Season 31 opens on Wednesday 14 October 2026. No Halloween programme is announced.

What should you do now? Open the venue's own website and its Instagram account once from 20 October and once from 27 October. Search the venue name with "Halloween 2026", and read the date on anything you find.

Free Halloween Events for Kids in Dubai: One So Far, Five to Watch

Looking for a free Halloween party in Dubai for kids? There is one so far. It is the family and pet costume competition at Stomping Grounds in Jumeirah 1, on Saturday 31 October from 9am to 9pm (number 3 above).

Two more are cheap. The City Walk Halloween Run costs AED 20 per child, and Radisson RED costs AED 50 per child with a meal and trick or treating.

These five events were free in 2025. None has been announced for 2026 yet:

• Once Upon a Pumpkin, Times Square Center, Sheikh Zayed Road (2025). It ran from 31 October to 2 November 2025, from noon to 7pm, with shows, crafts, face painting and trick or treating at the shops. It has run in most years, so check the mall's website and Instagram account from 20 October.
• Haunted Village, JLT Park, Cluster Q (2025). It ran on 31 October 2025, from 4pm to 8pm, with trick-or-treat trails, a costume parade and face painting. Check jlt.ae and DMCC's social accounts from 20 October.
• Halloween Family Movie Night, Al Habtoor Polo Resort (2025). On 31 October 2025 it showed a family film outdoors, with pumpkin carving and a bouncy castle. Check the resort's website and Instagram account in the last week of October.
• Halloween at Festival Plaza, Jebel Ali Village (2025). On 1 November 2025 it had free face painting and a costume competition with cash prizes. Families signed up at the customer service desk, so ask at that desk on your next visit.
• Howl-o-Ween Pawty, The Duck Hook, Dubai Hills Golf Club (2025). This was a free costume party for pets on 31 October 2025. Check the venue's Instagram account in the last week of October.

Here is the same picture side by side:

One blog says Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates will hold free costume parades on 30 and 31 October. Neither mall has announced this, so do not travel for it.

Trick or Treating in Dubai for Kids: How It Works and How to Join

Trick or treating in Dubai is arranged by residents, not by the city or the developer. There is no public event to join. Neighbours decorate their own homes, and children visit only those homes in the early evening.

No community manager has announced trick or treating for 2026 yet. So here is what past years, and this year's reports, tell us:

• The Springs, The Meadows and Arabian Ranches. In 2016, The National wrote that families went there between 4pm and 7pm on 31 October. One parent said they rang only at houses with decorations or a Halloween sticker. That report is ten years old, so use it only to understand how the evening works.
• Green Community, Dubai Investment Park. Gulf News wrote that villas there were decorated for Halloween 2025, and that children went trick-or-treating.
• Friends and neighbours. A family blog, updated in October 2026, says parents usually arrange trick or treating with friends. Children knock only at the homes of people they know who are taking part.
• One report for 2026, not verified. A blog names Arabian Ranches 2, The Springs and Jumeirah Golf Estates, from 5.30pm to 8pm on Saturday 31 October. It says the villas taking part show orange ribbons or carved pumpkins at the gate. No community manager or newspaper has said the same.

What about trick or treating in Dubai Hills? Nothing has been announced or reported for that community, so ask its residents' group before you plan around it.

How to join trick or treating in your community

You do not need an invitation from an organiser. You need to find out what your own neighbours are doing. Do these four things this week:

1. Ask in your community's residents' group. Most communities and towers have a WhatsApp or Facebook group. Post: "Is there trick or treating this year? Is there a list or map of homes taking part, and what time does it start?"
2. Ask the community management office. Ask if residents have registered a Halloween activity, and if there are rules for visitors. In a tower, ask the building's security desk or check the community portal.
3. Put your name on the sign-up list. If your group keeps a list of homes that give sweets, add your home, or note which streets are taking part.
4. Go only to decorated or listed homes. Go in the early evening on Saturday 31 October. Do not ring at a home with no decoration, and stay with your children.

Here are the same four steps to save:

Do you live in a community with no trick or treating? Three venues include it in the ticket this year: Legoland Dubai, House of Hype and Radisson RED. No trunk or treat event has been announced in Dubai for 2026.

Pumpkin Patches and Pumpkin Carving in Dubai for Halloween 2026

There are two pumpkin patches for 2026, and only one has real pumpkins.

• The real one is at The Garden Project, Address Montgomerie, from 23 to 31 October. It costs AED 150 per pumpkin, and children paint the pumpkin. It is number 9 above.
• The LEGO one is Scarecrow's Pumpkin Patch at Legoland Dubai, where children build a pumpkin from bricks. It is included in the day ticket. It is number 19 above.

No pumpkin carving event has been announced for 2026. Al Barari's page lists pumpkin carving among workshops from AED 60, but it shows no year. Al Habtoor Polo Resort had carving at its free film night in 2025.

Do you want to carve at home? A local family blog says Spinneys, Lulu, Waitrose and the online shop Kibsons sell whole pumpkins. It gives no prices.

For every event in the city, including the ones for adults, see our main guide to Halloween in Dubai. Parents planning a night out can use the Halloween party guide. For older children who want a real scare, see haunted houses in Dubai. If you live in the capital, read Halloween in Abu Dhabi.
