Who’s excited for spooky season? We know some of you are counting down the days!
Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights
Those who love all things eerie, creepy, and gory are probably eager to head to Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) at Universal Orlando! This annual fall event is perfect for those who actually enjoy the scary side of the season, but this year there’s a change you’ll want to note.
According to the Halloween Horror Nights website, parking is no longer free after midnight, like it had been in years past. Universal Orlando has updated the website to note that “Universal Orlando’s standard parking fees apply on Halloween Horror Nights event dates until 2AM.”

In the past, you could get free parking if you arrived after midnight. This is also important to note for those visiting CityWalk on nights that Halloween Horror Nights is taking place — typically, parking is free for CityWalk, Universal Studios Florida, and Universal Islands of Adventure after 6PM, but that is not the case on HHN nights.
Halloween Horror Nights House
Keep in mind that if you’re going to Halloween Horror Nights, it’s located at Universal Studios Florida. Parking for that park, CityWalk, and Universal Islands of Adventure is all located in the same parking garage. Make sure you note which section and row you’re parked in — you don’t want to lose your car at the end of the night!
Arriving at Universal
This year is the 35th anniversary of Halloween Horror Nights, and it will run on select nights from August 28th through November 1st, 2026. The theme is Infernal Carnival of Nightmares, and the event will include spooky haunted houses, intimidating scare zones, themed food, and incredible live entertainment. There’s a lot to do and see!
