Experience Belgium’s biggest and most family-friendly Halloween!

On a 50-metre-wide water screen in the heart of the Lake, discover the forgotten legend of the Moon Dragon.

At the beginning of the world, the Moon was nothing more than a sleeping gemstone. Within it, a benevolent guardian appeared and scattered fragments across the Earth. These fragments grew into precious stones. But deep beneath the water, dark shadows are stirring…

As night falls, let yourself be carried away by this legend, where water, light and mystery come together.

Come closer, if curiosity gets the better of you…

This year, even one of Pairi Daiza’s steam trains seems to have fallen under Halloween’s spell.

Strange characters appear on board along the way, and surprises await around every corner.

And as the train approaches its destination, something seems to be lurking nearby… What creature is waiting at the end of the Journey?

The Village by the Lake is transformed and invites you to discover voodoo, an ancient religion that is often misunderstood. Rich in spirituality and traditions, voodoo is far removed from the clichés surrounding black magic. Costumes and artefacts from Benin, blessed by voodoo priests, form part of this cultural Journey. Follow the route through a series of themed huts and discover what each one reveals about this tradition.

The giant Moon Dragons are back in Pairi Daiza’s Dome!

Among the semi-precious stones from the different Worlds, an entire family of Moon Dragons seems to have found shelter here. As guardians of these treasures of the Earth, they know watch over the Cave and its mysterious riches.

And the Moon Dragons won’t be alone… If the afternoon, Valentin the Magician adds his tricks and mysteries to the experience. As evening falls, the music takes over and the Cave comes to life well into the evening.

In Mexico, the memory of those who have passed away is also celebrated with joy, colour, flowers and music. During Halloween, this festive atmosphere comes to Edenya.

A lively and colourful celebration centred around tradition, music and togetherness. Musicians, singers and performers make their way through the Garden to the rhythm of songs and dances. A gigantic 3.5-metre-tall skeleton also appears, while three monumental skulls, inspired by Mexican art, take their place among the landscape of Edenya.

All of this takes place in a carefully controlled sound environment, ensuring the wellbeing of the animals.

On the Lake, a new mapping brings a new legend to life: the story of the Moon Dragon, guardian of the precious stones and creator of all the other dragons in the Garden of Worlds.

As evening falls, the Moon Dragon seems to awaken amidst the water and light in the heart of the Lake, as if emerging from the depths of the Earth.

At the Amphitheatre, a story of light comes to life on the walls of the Cambron Tower.

The mapping The Garden of the Five Wonders tells, through images, what makes Pairi Daiza so special. Animals, trees and gardens, treasures of the Earth and human creations come together in this unique story.

Four Wonders to discover… before perhaps the fifth awakens within you.

As evenings falls, strange creatures rise from the Lake… What lay hidden beneath the surface seems to be awakening too. Krakens, the Loch Ness Monster and other giants of the deep slowly emerge from the water.

From the floating terrace of Dock 66°, enjoy a panoramic view of the Lake… but keep a close eye on what might emerge from the depths.

With Happy Halloween, even the roof of the Mini-Farm gets into the Halloween spirit!

This year, the mini mapping welcomes new costumed companions, who come to greet visitors and join in the celebrations. A joyful moment for the whole family.
