Looking for a Halloween themed event in Allentown, PA? Dorney Park has something for everyone, whether you're looking for a scare or a place to take the little ones.

Dorney Park is open every weekend from September 25 to November 1. Friday evening hours are 6 PM to midnight. Saturday hours are noon to 11, and Sundays are noon to 10. There are two separate events; the Halloween Haunt and Boo Blast. Regular rides are in operation during both events.

Before visiting, please note that guests are not permitted to wear costumes or makeup. Regular season passes are also good for the Halloween events.

Halloween Haunt

If you're looking for a good scare, the Halloween Haunt is for you! Due to the scare factor and gruesomeness, this event is not recommended for children under 13.

Club Blood, Magic House on Kill Hill, The Asylum, and Psycho Circus are all indoor haunted mazes. There are 3 outdoor mazes, including Camp Cudie (no, it's not pronounced cootie or cutie, it's pronounced 'see you die'), which is new for 2009. There are also 2 live shows and plenty of cornstalkers and ghouls wandering about the park.

Admission to the Halloween Haunt on Friday nights is $22.99. Saturday and Sunday admission is $30.99.

Fright Feast

For an additional charge, there is a Fright Feast from 5:30-7 PM each night. The food includes unlimited hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, side dishes, ice cream, and beverages. Friday night Fright Feast tickets are $29.99 and include admission. Saturday and Sunday admission with the feast is $35.99. Beware. The cornstalkers may invite themselves to dinner!

Boo Blast

Boo Blast is an alternative for the younger children. From noon to 5 on Saturday and Sunday, there are only friendly ghouls haunting the midway and there are scare-free zones too!

Children can use their artistic skills to paint pumpkins and make masks. The Magical House on Boo Hill is a fright-free funhouse.

Center Stage is home ot the "Spooktacular" show, while Camp Snoopy features a pirate show, storytellers, and of course, the Peanuts characters. Children can go on a treasure hunt at the Pirates Passage Midway in Camp Snoopyt. Trick or Treat Street, located just inside Wild Water Kingdom, is full of familiar storybook characters who have treats for children under 56" tall. Trick or Treat bags are supplied by the park.
