In Wisconsin Dells, Halloween is a season unto itself, with ghost boat tours, haunted houses, and trick-or-treating at the waterpark resorts. The only thing scarier than a goblin or two would be the thought of missing a Wisconsin Dells Halloween.
The season of trick-or-treating is upon us and we’re big believers that Halloween should be celebrated all October long, not just on October 31. If you agree, then you’ll find these ideas for a Wisconsin Dells Halloween getaway to be ghoulishly good. So, pull out that bag of candy corn you have hidden in the pantry to munch on while you plan your visit.
New Haunts to Explore in 2025
- Ghost Boat is an eerie, after-dark ghost tour that has a new story, sights, and special effects for 2025. You’ll travel through rocky banks of the Wisconsin River while the boat captain navigates the jet-black waters. Once at the creepy confines of “newly re-opened” Cold Water Canyon, you’ll head out on foot, where even the moonlight isn’t enough to keep you from being afraid of the dark.
- A new show at Legacy Dinner Theater, Monster Mash Spooktacular, is a family-friendly Halloween extravaganza filled with high-energy dancing, jaw-dropping magic, spectacular special effects, and many more surprises. Your ticket also includes a three-course feast featuring Rotisserie “Raven Roast” (Oven-Roasted Chicken), Witch’s Brew Creamy Vegetable Soup, Goblin-Toasted Graveyard Bread, and much more. Kids meals are also available upon request.
- Newly opened Wisconsin Dells Mountain Coaster transforms into the Ghoster Coaster Friday and Saturday nights in October. Ghouls, ghosts, and mysterious mountain spirits await you around every twist and turn. Ride if you dare!
- Mini-golf is becoming a whole lot scarier in October with Haunted Hooks at Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf. The waterfall runs a murky red, shadows are cast, and mini-golf is played against a haunted backdrop. This spooky attraction is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights October 3 – November 1 (weather permitting).
Boo to You with These Haunted Halloween Tours and Attractions
- Get ready for frightening details about the haunted side of the Wisconsin Dells area when you take the Haunted History Tour from Dells Trolley Tours. You’ll visit a haunted cemetery, and the tour guide will use a ghost meter to search for energy of the spirits.
- If scary is what you seek, then The Haunted Mansion is for you. This classic haunted house-style attraction is located in downtown Wisconsin Dells.
- Ghost Outpost Haunted House has animatronic-filled rooms designed for fun and fright. This Halloween attraction is not for the timid or for young children who are afraid of the dark. With one bone-chilling chamber after another, you’re sure to scream until you can’t scream anymore.
- Located inside an ancient jungle pyramid, Lost Temple is a wild mix of mystery and adventure with creatures lurking in the fog. Outside of the temple you’ll find a giant maze where you can test your speed, brain, and sense of direction.
- The White House has been turned upside down and secret information has been exposed at Top Secret, A Highly Classified Experience. Visit to explore what has been uncovered.
- It’s just an illusion … or is it? The tricks staged at the Rick Wilcox Magic Theater will have you thinking twice about raising your hand to volunteer to come on stage.
- Team up with family and friends for some interactive gaming at Wizard Quest, a fantasy-themed labyrinth where fantastical creatures dwell and wizards need your help to be freed while you traverse through fire, water, earth, and air realms.
Trick-or-Treat (OK, all treats) at the Waterpark Resorts
- Wilderness Resort goes all out for Halloween, with a trick-or-treat trail, Halloween cookie decorating, a mini-pumpkin patch by horse-drawn wagon ride, Halloween-themed activities, and a costume contest during October weekends.
- The Halloween Town at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park, running October 1 through November 1, is frightfully perfect, with pumpkin painting (Saturday nights) and an Underworld Scare Zone haunted house.

- Look for ghoulish good times and pumpkin-packed fun at Chula Vista Resort. On Saturday afternoons in October, kids can collect treats at designated locations throughout the resort. End the spooky season properly at Chula Vista’s Halloween Spook-tacular Party on October 31 and November 1.
- Kalahari Resorts & Conventions is inviting families to a one-of-a-kind Trick-or-Treat adventure on October 31.
