If you are looking for a safe and fun event to do for Halloween, check out Hauntoween L.A. It’s an exciting, family-friendly drive-thru experience.
My 9 year-old and I enjoyed it very much. The adventure starts off with a lighted pumpkin tunnel, which was excellent in setting the mood for the rest of this “ride”. Coming out of the tunnel was their very “punny” pumpkin patch displays. Hundreds of pumpkins sitting on haystacks and the best part is…getting to take one home!
I thought they were very creative with the presentation of all of their Halloween displays, their graveyard scenes, and live music. There were also a couple of video and photo op backdrops – which gets sent to your email. The final destination is going “door to door” Trick or Treating! Lots of candy to collect from about 10 homes! My 9-year-old loved that part!
Everything was created in a safe and engaging environment. With social distancing in place and limited things to do during this time, it was great to see how they put together this event and have it be fun, interacting and you get to take home a pumpkin and lots of candy!
It was a fantastic experience, but I did wish there were still more to see. If I were to go again, I would make sure I had a bag ready for them to dump the candy into. Otherwise, it just falls everywhere in your car. Another thing I would’ve done was to decorate my car! Since photo ops were of you in your car, I wish I dressed up my car. We weren’t dressed up either, but maybe we could’ve done a whole theme with our car and us in it.

HAUNTOWEEN LA is a spooky, fun Halloween experience that keeps all the treasured traditions and excitement alive in a safe format. Guests will drive through a variety of installations, like a Jack-O’-Lantern tunnel with over 1,000 brightly lit pumpkins, a (newly announced!) blacklight tunnel powered by FX’s Emmy®-nominated series What We Do in the Shadows (Seasons 1 and 2 now available on Hulu), an array of Halloween environments and mini-maze routes featuring giant pumpkins and countless themed overlays, and, of course, an interactive pumpkin patch with a pumpkin of your choice to take home. Costumed and safely masked actors will provide in-vehicle “door to door” trick-or-treating on a two-street, built-out neighborhood, with plenty of wrapped candy and decorations for the kids. To top it all off, guests can enjoy live musical performances by The BeatBuds at select, surprise times. Throughout the experience, socially distanced photo and multi-cam video ops will encourage social sharing in a safe, contactless environment.
National retailer and one-stop-shop Halloween destination, Party City will join the celebration. Inspiring installations curated with Party City products will be found along HAUNTOWEEN LA’s own Party City Lane. Amping up your Hauntoween experience will be easy with DIY car decoration kits available for purchase online during ticket booking.
