FAQs

Can kids wear costumes to Halloween Horror Nights?

While Halloween is typically a time when costumes are encouraged, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios has a strict policy that prohibits guests—regardless of age—from wearing costumes or costume masks. This rule is in place to maintain a clear distinction between official scare actors and guests for both safety and security reasons. Even children are required to follow this guideline, so if you’re planning to attend with young ones, it’s best to leave the costumes at home and opt for themed t-shirts or accessories instead.

How to ready kids for a Halloween party?

Getting kids ready for a Halloween party involves a mix of fun and preparation. Start by selecting a costume that is age-appropriate, comfortable, and safe—avoid anything too restrictive or with parts that could be a tripping hazard. Talk to your child about what to expect at the party, including games, treats, and social interactions, especially if it's their first time attending such an event. Pack a small bag with essentials like water, snacks, and a change of clothes in case of spills or discomfort. Adding a name tag or ID bracelet for younger children is also a good precaution. Most importantly, reinforce basic safety rules, like staying with a trusted adult and only eating treats that are sealed and approved.

Halloween costume trends, may vary year to year, but certain outfits remain consistently popular. The witch costume remains a top favorite, offering endless variations from classic to glam.

What are good Halloween costumes for families?

Coordinated family Halloween costumes are a great way to make the celebration more memorable. One popular choice is dressing up as characters from The Addams Family, which provides a spooky and cohesive theme for both adults and children. Another fun idea is the Toy Story ensemble, allowing each family member to pick a beloved character like Woody, Buzz, or Jessie. Superhero themes are also a big hit, giving everyone the chance to wear their favorite Marvel or DC costume while staying united in concept. For something more traditional, families can dress up as classic Halloween monsters—think Dracula, the Mummy, Frankenstein, and the Bride of Frankenstein—for a timeless and spooky group costume.

Can a 7 year old go to Halloween Horror Nights?

Technically, Halloween Horror Nights does not have an official age restriction, but the event is explicitly recommended for guests aged 13 and older due to its intense scares, mature themes, and disturbing visuals. The haunted houses, live scare zones, and graphic content can be too frightening and overwhelming for younger children. While a 7-year-old may be allowed entry, it’s generally not advisable to bring children that young, as the experience could lead to anxiety, nightmares, or trauma. Parents should consider more age-appropriate Halloween events if they’re looking to include younger kids in the festivities.
