Everland Blood City Halloween 2026: Tickets & Discounts
Experience Everland's Blood City Halloween 2026! This guide covers event times, ticket discounts, and tips to maximize your visit to Korea's premier horror festival.
Everland's Halloween festivities kick off at 4 PM.
The spine-chilling Blood City performances, where zombies spill onto the streets, run from then until 9 PM.
However, the real terror truly begins after the sun sets.
Keep in mind, ticket options in October 2026 are different from September. The Night Pass, which was sold until September, is no longer available. Instead, the Full-Day Pass is now a better value than the Afternoon Pass. If you're planning to brave Blood City, be sure to check the ticket details!

Everland Halloween 2026 Event Period
This year, Everland's Halloween period runs from September 12 to November 22, 2026. Everland operates it as an Autumn Festival, with the dedicated horror zone known as Blood City. This year's theme is Blood City Zero, subtitled Gates of Hell, marking its 10th season since it first opened in 2017.

A Tale of Two Parks: Day vs. Night

Before 4 PM, the park is all about family fun. The new Wild Savannah Expedition lets you walk through Lost Valley to see giraffes and elephants up close, and the Smiley Pumpkin Parade, adorned with pumpkins and skeletons, winds through the park daily. The Four Seasons Garden is also awash with vibrant autumn blooms. However, once 4 PM hits, the Alpine Area transforms into a zombie-infested city. There are five distinct themed zones:
1. Gates of Hell
Uncontrollable Lab
Circus of Madness
Crimson Campus (Horror Maze)
Flat of Ruin
There's no single, fixed stage. The experience is interactive; you follow the zombies, and what you see depends on where you stand. While performances begin at 4 PM, the lighting and atmosphere truly come alive after sunset.

Choosing Your Ticket: Full-Day, Afternoon, or Night?
Tickets are categorized by entry time:
Ticket Type | Entry Time | Best For |
Full-Day Pass | From opening | Those who want to enjoy all daytime events |
Afternoon Pass | From 3 PM | Those who want makeup, merchandise, and to see performances from the start |
Night Pass | From 6 PM | Sales ended Sept 30, 2026; not available in October |
All three ticket types have the same price for adults and children, with charges applicable from 36 months of age.
Until September 2026, the Night Pass was the most efficient option if you only planned to see Blood City. However, Night Pass sales concluded on September 30, and it will not be available in October.
Instead, Trip.com is offering a Full-Day Pass 1+1 deal for use from October 6-31, 2026. For two people, it's ~$39, making it about ~$20 per person.
Considering an Afternoon Pass costs ~$28, the Full-Day Pass is actually more than ~$7 cheaper! This allows you to enjoy the Wild Savannah and Pumpkin Parade during the day, then transition to Blood City from 4 PM for a truly packed day.
To truly immerse yourself in Blood City, your attire plays a big role! Make sure to wear an outfit that fits the horror theme. If you plan to visit the on-site makeup salons, it's best to arrive early. Long lines for makeup can significantly cut into your performance viewing time.
Everland's official prices are set to increase by ~$2 from October 6, 2026, and October is peak season with higher rates than November. This month sees the largest price difference between full-price and discounted tickets, so be sure to snag a discounted pass!
The Trip.com 1+1 Full-Day Pass is a limited, first-come, first-served offer, and it's cancellable at any time, so it's wise to book it even if your dates aren't completely firm yet.

Navigating Blood City: Your Itinerary
Register your ticket on the Everland app from home. Failing to do so might prevent you from participating in some events and reserving certain facilities.
Upon entry, head straight to the Alpine Area.
Tackle the missions first. Merchandise and themed food can wait until after the performances; you won't miss out.
After the performances end at 9 PM, if the timing aligns with the fireworks show, it's a fantastic way to conclude your visit. However, be aware that some attractions and restaurants may close earlier, so always check their operating hours on the app.
Even with a Full-Day Pass, it's a good idea to be near the Alpine Area before 4 PM to catch the very first scenes of Blood City.
Plan Your Escape: Getting Home After Dark
After watching the 9 PM performances, the real challenge is often the journey home.
If you're using public transportation, you can take the free shuttle bus to Everline Jeondae-Everland Station. This shuttle runs every 5 to 10 minutes for up to an hour after the park closes. So, don't worry about the shuttle even if you leave at closing time; just make sure to check the last train schedule for the Everline.
If you're driving, only the main gate parking lot is paid, while the other outer parking lots are free. At night, cars tend to exit all at once, so parking a bit further out might actually allow you to leave faster than those parked closer to the main gate.
