Bring Your Pup to HallOVeen: A Las Vegas Halloween Tradition Goes Dog-Friendly
Las Vegas may be best known for its neon lights and casinos, but when October rolls around, the city also delivers some of the most creative Halloween celebrations you’ll find anywhere. One of the standout fall traditions is HallOVeen at the Magical Forest, the annual family-friendly Halloween theme park benefitting Opportunity Village. With glowing pumpkins, decorated trees, carnival rides, and trick-or-treat stations, it’s a whimsical mix of spooky and playful. But this year, dog parents should pay extra attention to the calendar — because October 20th is all about your pup.
Pumpkin Paws at the Magical Forest
HallOVeen has carved out a special evening just for dogs and their humans: Pumpkin Paws on October 20th. This one-night-only event transforms the already enchanting Magical Forest into a pet-friendly wonderland, inviting pups of all shapes and sizes to join the fun. Instead of leaving your dog at home while you enjoy the festivities, you can bring them along to experience a Halloween night tailored just for them.
During Pumpkin Paws, your furry friend can take part in hands-on activities designed to capture the spirit of the season. Attendees will have the chance to create custom bandanas for their dogs and make paw print canvases — perfect keepsakes to remember your night. And because HallOVeen is all about family fun, there will be plenty of photo-worthy moments as your pup trots past glowing jack-o-lanterns, spooky skeletons, and ghostly displays scattered throughout the Magical Forest.
What You Need to Know Before You Go
While the event promises loads of fun, there are a few things dog owners should keep in mind. All pets must remain on a leash during their visit, and water stations will be set up around the park to keep them hydrated. As with all craft and activity stations, everything is available while supplies last — so it’s smart to plan your visit early to make sure your pup gets in on the best of the action.
HallOVeen itself is an outdoor experience spread across 2.5 acres, so be sure to dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes as you explore. Between the cemetery walk, nightly entertainment, carnival games, and themed dining options, there’s plenty to keep both you and your dog entertained for the evening.
Don’t Miss Out
Pumpkin Paws is just one of the special nights at HallOVeen, and while there are other themed evenings throughout October, this one is especially close to our hearts here at Dog Friendly Las Vegas. It’s rare to find a seasonal event that openly invites our four-legged friends to join in, and this is a perfect chance to make memories with your pup in one of the city’s most festive fall traditions.
So mark your calendars, leash up your pup, and head to HallOVeen at Opportunity Village on October 20th for Pumpkin Paws. With glowing lights, spooky vibes, and dog-friendly fun, it’s one night you and your furry best friend won’t forget.
