Families in the Mason, Ohio area will have an additional chance to experience the popular Halloween Haunt at Kings Island. The amusement park confirmed that the seasonal event will remain open for two extra days, November 7 and November 8, extending the Halloween festivities by a full week.

Extended Halloween celebration

The decision gives guests one more weekend to enjoy the park’s haunted houses, scare zones, and themed entertainment before the focus shifts to the upcoming WinterFest program. Park officials said the extension is intended to give more visitors the opportunity to take part in the spooky attractions that have become a holiday tradition for many local families.

Behind‑the‑scenes tours and new food options

During the added days, Kings Island will offer behind‑the‑scenes tours of its rides, allowing guests a rare look at the inner workings of the park’s attractions. In addition, the park announced new food options will be available throughout the weekend, providing fresh choices for those looking to refuel between scares. Special promotional deals are also slated to be offered, though specific details were not disclosed.

Transition to WinterFest

After the November 8 closing of Halloween Haunt, Kings Island will transition its focus to WinterFest, a seasonal celebration that features holiday lights, ice‑skating, and other winter‑themed activities. The park’s schedule adjustment ensures a smooth handoff between the two major seasonal events, giving guests a clear timeline for planning their visits.

For more information on ticket pricing, operating hours, and the full list of attractions available during the extended Halloween Haunt, visitors are encouraged to check the park’s official website or contact guest services directly.
