Halloween in Dubai: 15 family and adults events

Halloween in Dubai fills Palm Jumeirah and hotel venues with themed brunches, family carnivals and adults-only parties across the city this October.

Dubai’s hospitality and leisure venues are staging everything from costume competitions and trick-or-treating to family brunches and pet-friendly parties, concentrated in malls, hotels and leisure districts like Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah and Al Quoz.

This guide lists 15 key events and experiences with practical prices and timings drawn from venue announcements, so you can pick family-friendly options, prize-led runs or adults-only skyline nights without digging through multiple sites.

Yes, spooky season is back and Dubai’s restaurants, hotels and malls are running themed events across October and Halloween weekend. Many venues have published family and adults-only lineups, from pumpkin-themed workshops to late-night brunches.

Expect price points that span kid activities at AED 129 to premium brunch packages up to AED 825; venues such as Osterio Mario list kids’ pizza sessions at AED 129 while Mina’s Kitchen has premium brunch tiers at AED 825. These price ranges show how the market caters to both budget family plans and high-end festive dining.

Plan early: popular family brunches and carnival slots tend to sell out on weekend dates and some prize-driven events carry registration caps. If you need daytime family activities, aim for October 30 to November 1 dates that many venues are targeting, and check children’s age rules for discounted rates.

Family-friendly options in Dubai span pumpkin workshops, spooky pizza-making, costume parades and themed play parks, with prices starting as low as AED 129 for children’s sessions. These events are aimed at families with young children and usually run during daytime hours or early evening.

Key family listings from venue announcements include Osterio Mario’s kids’ pizza-making (AED 129), FireLake Grill House family brunch pricing (AED 179 adults, AED 99 children aged 4 12), Lala Little Wonders sessions starting from AED 450, and Palm Kitchen’s kids package at AED 140. These choices let parents decide between an activity-led ticket or a full brunch package depending on budget and age of children.

When booking, confirm exact times and whether activities are included or sold separately; some venues list a cover price for entry and then charge extra for specific workshops. If you want all-day play access or rides, check Lala Little Wonders’ timing across midterms and Halloween weekend.

FireLake Grill House at Radisson Dubai DAMAC Hills is running a family Halloween brunch with themed entertainment and prizes, priced at AED 179 for adults and AED 99 for children aged 4 12. The brunch runs on October 31 from 1pm to 4pm, with an extended happy hour until 7pm.

The venue promises live music, films, games, arts and crafts, themed food stations and a costume prize element. For AED 179 adults receive a buffet plus a soft-drinks package, while the AED 99 child rate includes the family-focused food offering and activities. Late brunch attendees may benefit from happy-hour beverage pricing after 1pm.

If you are booking for a family, check whether the children’s tariff applies to ages 4 12 and whether prizes require prior registration. The combination of entertainment and a buffet makes the AED 179 adult price competitive for families looking for a single-ticket brunch experience on Halloween day.

• Live music and films
• Arts and crafts for children
• Themed food stations
• Prizes for best costumes

Black Bunny Dubai is hosting a month-long Halloween program throughout October with themed décor, interactive entertainment and a 10-challenge Spooky Passport for families. The program runs across October with varying daily activities and culminates in a grand finale on October 31.

Activities include weekly themed events such as a Little Monsters Takeover, Spooky Camp and a Halloween Carnival; pricing advertised starts from AED 179 for certain experiences. The Spooky Passport lets families collect stamps across ten challenges during the month, creating an incentives-based experience that encourages repeat visits and participation in several activities.

Because events run across different days and times, check Black Bunny’s weekly schedule before booking: some activities may be ticketed separately from general admission and certain family workshops will have limited capacity. The month-long structure is ideal if you want to spread activities across weekends rather than cram everything into one night.

Yes, Stomping Grounds invites pets and hosts a family costume competition that includes animals, with Halloween-themed menu specials and no cover charge for entry. The venue runs its celebration on October 31 from 9am to 9pm and lists menu items like the BBQ Brekkie at AED 101 and the Steak Sandwich at AED 99.

Stomping Grounds’ positioning as a pet-friendly café means you can expect pet-centric photo opportunities and a relaxed outdoor vibe for families. With free entry, the main spend is on food and optional activities; menu prices such as AED 101 and AED 99 give a clear sense of mid-range café pricing for the day.

If you plan to bring a pet, check venue rules on leashes and vaccination status beforehand and arrive early on October 31 to secure seating for larger groups. Family costume competitions typically have registration or check-in windows, so arrive before midday if you want to enter.

City Walk’s After Dark Fun Run returns with 2.5km and 5km Halloween-inspired routes, family-friendly entertainment and prizes worth AED 20,000. The run is part of Dubai Fitness Challenge programming and is open to all fitness levels and families who want an active Halloween evening.

Organisers advertise prizes including consumer electronics and hotel stays, noting specifics such as iPhones and stays at La Ville Hotel & Suites among rewards. The AED 20,000 prize pool suggests multiple prize categories rather than a single cash award, making this event attractive to families who want a festive but active evening with the chance to win tangible prizes.

Register early because the run is popular with families seeking a social, costumed fitness activity. Dress-up is encouraged and organisers typically have safety marshals and lighting along the route for comfort and visibility during after-dark hours.

Lala Little Wonders runs Halloween programming during midterms (October 12 18) and again from October 30 to November 1, with entertainment, rides and workshops for children. The source lists starting prices from AED 450 for certain sessions, reflecting a full play package or seasonal access.

The venue focuses on immersive play for younger children with Boo Rides, themed workshops and costume-friendly activities that occupy kids for extended daytime play. A starting price of AED 450 indicates a premium kids’ entertainment offering, often including multiple rides or workshop access in a single ticket.

Because Lala Little Wonders schedules events across two date blocks, check exact session times and whether the advertised starting price includes meals or is purely access. If you want multiple days of play, ask about multi-day passes or sibling discounts to manage total spend.

Palm Kitchen at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa on Palm Jumeirah is staging a Halloween Carnival Brunch open to all ages, with a kids package at AED 140 and adult soft-beverage and house-beverage options listed at AED 206 and AED 318 respectively. The event is scheduled for October 30 and asks attendees to dress in costume for prizes.

The Carnival Brunch promises live entertainment, family-friendly activities and a festival-style food offering at the resort’s Palm Jumeirah location. Pricing tiers range from dedicated kids’ packages at AED 140 up to house-beverage packages at AED 318 per person, showing clear options for family budgets and premium drinkers.

If you plan to attend, check whether the kids’ package covers activities or only the meal, and whether prizes require registration. Carnival-style events at resort venues can sell out quickly, so early table reservations are recommended for peak weekend brunch times.

Yalumba at Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre gives its Sunday family brunch a Halloween makeover with themed entertainment and dress-up competitions; pricing starts at AED 225 for the non-alcoholic package and AED 325 for pouring packages. A kids’ package for ages 6 12 is priced at AED 115.

The brunch runs from 1pm to 4pm and offers a tiered pricing structure: AED 225 for a soft beverage package, AED 325 for pouring packages and AED 395 for premium options. These tiers let families choose based on beverage inclusions and budget, while the AED 115 kids’ package covers younger guests who want a dedicated children’s menu and activities.

For families, confirm what each package covers especially whether themed entertainment is included in the kids’ ticket and whether there are special seating blocks for parents who prefer quieter family areas. Early booking helps secure family tables near activity zones.

Mina’s Kitchen is offering a Bubbalicious Halloween brunch on October 31 with family entertainment, a children’s area and tiered pricing from AED 325 for kids aged 6 12 up to AED 825 for the Experience package. The brunch runs from 1pm to 4pm and promises roaming performers and a seaside backdrop.

Pricing tiers are: Experience package AED 825, Champagne package AED 715, Sparkling package AED 625, Non-alcoholic AED 485, Kids AED 325 and complimentary for children under six. This wide range demonstrates Mina’s Kitchen’s positioning as a premium marina-front brunch with options for families and high-tier beverage consumers.

When booking, confirm whether children’s activities are included in the kids’ ticket and whether the Experience package adds exclusive seating or additional culinary stations. The marina setting adds scenic value but can be breezy, so dress accordingly for the afternoon.

The Irish Village stages a large Halloween takeover on October 31 across its Al Garhoud and Studio One Hotel locations with live DJs, games and costume contests offering prizes up to AED 5,000. Entry is free and the event targets adults and groups looking for a lively Halloween night.

With free entry and a AED 5,000 prize for standout costumes, The Irish Village is positioned as a late-night social hub rather than a family-focused brunch. The prize size suggests multiple high-value categories or a headline prize for best costume, which helps attract large group bookings and competitive dress-ups.

If you want to attend, arrive early to secure group seating and check whether the prize is split across categories or awarded as a single sum. Free entry venues can still be busy; expect long lines at peak hours and consider a table reservation if available.

Yes, sources flagged a large winter festival coming to Dubai in December, described as a new seasonal attraction to complement Halloween and other calendar events. The article source mentions the festival as an upcoming addition but provides no ticket or price details in the Halloween listings.

Because the winter festival is a separate announcement from Halloween programming, details such as dates, ticket prices and headline acts were not included in the Halloween events roundup. Treat this as an advance notice that Dubai’s event calendar will extend into a larger winter festival season in December.

If you want to plan winter travel, keep an eye on official festival channels for confirmed dates and ticket releases; winter festivals typically announce early-bird tickets and family packages several weeks before opening.

Treehouse at Taj Dubai is running an adults-only Halloween skyline brunch on October 30 with free-flowing food and beverage packages from AED 395 for soft beverages up to AED 575 for premium packages, and a Pay for 4 Party 5 offer to encourage groups.

The event runs from 7pm to 10.30pm and features live entertainment against Dubai skyline views. Packages are AED 395 (soft), AED 475 (house beverages) and AED 575 (premium), which position Treehouse as a premium adults-only night out rather than a daytime family brunch.

For groups, the Pay-for-4-get-5 offer reduces per-person cost and is useful for friend groups; check the small print on which beverage packages qualify. Expect a lively dress-up crowd and late seating times suitable for adults-only celebrations.

Voyage by Amelia is listed among seasonal programming as a Día de los Muertos immersion experience, but the Halloween roundup source provides only the name and theme without ticket, date or price specifics. The entry suggests a themed cultural evening rather than a family brunch format.

Because the source didn’t include practical details, treat Voyage by Amelia as a recommended search term to follow up on via the venue’s official channels for dates, ticketing and capacity. Cultural immersions often require advance booking and may be limited in guest numbers.

If you are seeking a Día de los Muertos experience, check event pages or the venue’s social channels for exact timing, menu inclusions and whether the event is age-restricted or family-friendly, since immersive dinners can vary widely in format.

Pepe Cucina at Address Beach Resort appears on Halloween event roundups as an Italian-themed brunch option, but the Halloween source used for this article did not publish dates, times or prices for Pepe Cucina specifically. The venue is noted for Italian brunches in other seasons, suggesting a themed Halloween take could follow the same format.

In the absence of explicit pricing or schedule details from the source, treat Pepe Cucina as a potential option to check directly with Address Beach Resort for availability. High-demand hotel dining over Halloween often uses tiered brunch pricing and reservation requirements similar to other hotel venues listed here.

If Pepe Cucina runs a Halloween brunch, expect themed Italian dishes and likely tiered beverage packages; confirm child policies and whether the event is family-friendly or adults-only before making plans.

Dubai’s Halloween calendar mixes family-friendly brunches and play parks with adults-only skyline parties and prize-led runs. Prices in the announcements range from AED 99 for children’s brunch tickets up to AED 825 for premium brunch experiences, while prize-driven events advertise pools up to AED 20,000, showing options for modest budgets and high-end festive spending.
