Three Nights of Spooks, Laughs & Surprises
Every evening from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Al Barari will be buzzing with everything that makes Halloween special. Think hands-on workshops, live shows, and festive fun for both kids and adults. And the best part? The event will also reveal one of the largest trampolines in the UAE. So yes, it’s officially time to jump into the spirit (literally!).
The Ultimate Halloween Block Party The Haunted Village
At the centre of it all is The Haunted Village. A buzzing little world filled with energy, laughter, and maybe a few friendly frights. You can expect play zones with trampolines, local markets to explore, food trucks dishing out your favourite bites, and photo booths that are basically a must-stop for every group of friends. Add face painting, a spooky crafts corner and roaming performers to the mix, and you’ve got yourself a Halloween block party with a twist.
Step Into The Haunted House… If You Dare…
Now, for the brave ones out there, The Haunted House is the ultimate test. It’s a live-action walkthrough that lasts about 15–20 minutes, packed with themed rooms, spooky surprises, and maybe a jump scare or two. It’s recommended for ages 12 and up. But trust me, it’s not your average haunted house.
For The Young & The Young-At-Heart
If you’ve got kids, they’re going to love the Al Barari Playground, complete with a splash pad, mini beach, and treehouses that look like they belong in a storybook. But if you’re someone who likes a little suspense, The Maze of the Unknown is where you should head. It’s literally full of surprises and creepy corners that will have you giggling and gasping all at once.
Parades, Costumes & Spooky Crafts
The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. The Halloween Parade will light up the night with glowing costumes, eerie music, and spooky characters dancing through the garden. Over at the Spooky Craft Corner, kids and grown-ups can get creative with Halloween-themed activities at the Haunted Village. From carving pumpkins to making their own little spooky masterpieces.
