Universal Orlando Resort Halloween Horror Nights

Are you visiting Universal Orlando Resort this year? Well, if so, they’ve shared their calendar of events of dates you should be aware of. Of course, we already know about when things like Rock the Universe and Mardi Gras are taking place, but do you want to know when 2025 Halloween Horror Nights dates will be? We’ve got those! Want to know when you can celebrate the holidays at Universal Orlando Resort? We’ve got those dates too! Let’s dive in!

Butterbeer Season

Last year, Universal Orlando Resort introduced Butterbeer Season and it’s just as glorious as you’d think it would be. Pick your favorite type of butterbeer and celebrate in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. (My favorite is hot. It can be 100 degrees and I’m getting a hot butterbeer!) This year’s Butterbeer Season will take place from March 1 through May 31, 2025.

This event features seasonal-exclusive Butterbeer treats and specialty merchandise. Stay tuned as more delicious details are revealed in the coming weeks.

*NEW* Universal Volcano Bay Nights

Oh my goodness! A celebration of Volcano Bay? Sign me up! Universal Volcano Bay is an incredible water park and if you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! And best of all, this event happens at night, which is an incredible time to be at the park, seeing it all lit up!

Universal Volcano Bay Nights is slated to take place April 19 and 26, as well as May 3, 10, and 17, 2025.

Guests who attend this event will experience seriously reduced wait times, and some uniquely Universal entertainment.

Halloween Horror Nights

Universal Orlando Resort Halloween Horror Nights

The premiere Halloween event really has to be Halloween Horror Nights. (Sorry Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but we really do have to give Universal the edge here.) This event is truly terrifying and it is incredible to see the details that go into making it year after year. This year the event will run on select nights from August 29 through November 2, 2025.

Halloween Horror Nights features incredible haunted houses, ridiculously detailed scare zones, yummy snacks, and more.

More details about the 2025 Halloween Horror Nights event will be shared soon and we’ll have them for you when they are released.
