With family or friends, you won't leave unscathed: thrills and cold sweats guaranteed for the most daring Gauls! ThisHalloween, laughter and thrills await you at Parc Astérix!

Two formulas are available during this period: Fear in the Park during the day and at night. During the day, Halloween animations are also part of the program, starting at noon. If you have children, this is the part we recommend. The scariest areas are marked out, and you can opt for a watch-repelling badge if you or your children are daring, but not too daring. Parc Astérix is introducing a compulsory registration system for daytime access to the Park from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on October 30, 31, November 1 and 2, 2024.

The more courageous (or unaware), will opt for the night-time entertainment. Attractions such as the Epi de Maïs and the Menhir Express close, while the Curse of Sirius transforms into a nightclub and characters invade the aisles. This year, we've got 9 must-see nights with special tickets priced at 46€. See you on October 12, 19, 25, 26, 30, 31, 2024 and November 1, 2 and 9, 2024 from 7pm to 1am. On these nights, you'll be treated to a sound and light show on the Oziris attraction's iconic façade, a DJ set and a water show in the Sirius zone.

This year, the number of haunted houses gets even bigger. The number of actors involved in these tours is impressive, and there are more surprises than ever.

On the program for this 2024 edition of Fear in the Park:

The Haunted House: The Underworld of Pompeii

Discover the new Halloween 2024 haunted house, nestled in the heart of the Roman zone, near Romus and Rapides. In this haunted house, we find ourselves at the heart of the volcanic eruption. This immersive journey takes us deep into the underworld of the ancient city of Pompeii. From confrontations with bloodied gladiators, to corpses frozen in ash, burnt figures and the scent of sulfur, you'll love the scares.

The Curse of Sirius

Once again this year, the Cursed Zone replaces the Main Basse sur le Joconde show. The Siruis, a ship that has been missing for centuries, calls at Parc Asterix with a crew of lost castaways on board, eager to meet you. Afflicted by an unknown evil, they're not quite human when they come ashore to meet Gaulish visitors. On the program: an arts scene, with some great shows to discover. Also on the menu are two new food outlets in the vicinity of the haunted ship. In the evening, the spot is transformed into a giant spooky club with a festive live DJ set.

The Horror Buffet at Le Cirque restaurant

Le Cirque restaurant turns into a horror buffet during Halloween. After being fired from the circus where he used to perform, Le Maître, a former circus artist, decides to take revenge by creating his own horror-themed circus. Here, you'll discover a host of new and disturbing characters, including Jingo, the terrifying cannibal clown; Carmen, the haunted medium; and a new circus artist. These sinister figures, locked in cages, will be presented by Le Maître at the Buffet de l'Horreur.

The menu features dishes as delicious as they are scary: an avocado disguised as a cerebellum, nicknamed 'baby cacamole', mini hot dogs in the shape of witches' fingers, or wild boar sausages and Soissons beans simmered in a dog bowl. For dessert, visitors can enjoy a panna cotta with caramelized grasshoppers, help themselves to a bloody chocolate fountain, or sample treats from a miniature cemetery.

Parc Asterix offers a wide range of attractions, street shows and haunted houses to thrill and excite. Will you dare to venture down the Paris street where monsters, the undead and gargoyles have made their home?

You'll love the zombie show performed several times a day on the stage in front of the big towers, or in the covered walkways if the weather's gloomy.
