Theme Parks Can’t Ignore Halloween — Not in California, At Least
It doesn’t matter if you’re cute and cuddly Legoland California (pictured,) Disneyland, Six Flags, Great America or Knott’s, when Halloween rolls around you better have a plan or you’ll be missing out.
It took Disneyland some time to learn this but when they got on board with dedicated Halloween events such as Mickey’s Halloween Party, lasting for approx. 5 hours on special nights, they not only raised their own bar but they also raised the price. Admission starts at around $105, making this the most expensive Halloween theme park event in 2018 to get in. Other parks have VIP options, fast passes and pricing that goes much higher, however. At some theme parks pricing may be lower in September and on nights where the attraction determines they haven’t sold out and want to move some tix.
