If you’re getting hungry, themed pop-ups are serving up some delicious bites.  Stop by the Killer BBQ From Outer Space for BBQ pulled pork sandwiches and JoJo’s Ice Cream. Or head over to the Plaza de los Muertos for craft cocktails like the Muerte Margarita or the Sugar Skull Punch.

Halloween Horror Nights gets extremely busy and most nights are expected to sell out so advance tickets are highly recommended. Parking can take a while so ride sharing is always a great idea when coming to the park.  Lastly, the haunted house lines can get up to one or two hours long, so if you want to beat the lines and get through the park with ease, the Universal Express tickets are worth the price to get one-time front of the lines passes for the night.
