Daytime Magic: Pumpkin Parade & Fairy Village

During the day, the park turns whimsical — glowing pumpkins line the streets while costumed characters from “Pumpkin Kingdom” wave to visitors. The Halloween Parade is held twice daily, featuring giant floats, fairy dancers, and confetti cannons filling the air.

The Fairy Village inside the indoor section offers hands-on craft booths, costume rentals, and themed photo zones — perfect for families or friends wanting Instagram-worthy shots.

Nighttime Thrills: Zombie Factory Returns

When night falls, the atmosphere changes completely. The Zombie Factory reopens its gates, with actors in full prosthetic makeup chasing visitors through fog and flickering lights. K-pop music mixes with eerie industrial beats to create a uniquely Korean horror vibe. Expect interactive photo zones, jump scares, and limited-entry horror rides like “Ghost House” and “Dark Horror VR.”

The outdoor Magic Island offers light shows synchronized to Halloween EDM sets — turning the park into Seoul’s most spectacular open-air night party

Makeup, Costume & Style Guide

This year’s trend is all about soft horror meets Seoul glam. Think glass-skin vampires, glittery witches, and holographic fairies. K-beauty fans can pick up Halloween limited-edition palettes at Olive Young before visiting. Lotte World even provides pop-up face painting booths for last-minute costume touches.

Style Tip: Pair cozy outerwear (it’s chilly at night) with bright accessories like glowing bracelets or neon headbands — they look great under black lights!
