Looking for fun things to do with the kids this Halloween? Dublin comes alive with spooky trails, pumpkin adventures, family-friendly events and plenty of Halloween fun for little witches, wizards and monsters!
Whether you’re planning a Halloween day out, looking for something to do during the October mid-term or want to make the most of Halloween weekend, there are plenty of family-friendly activities to choose from.
Take the Ghostbus Kids Tour
For kids who love a little bit of spooky fun, the Ghostbus Kids Tour is a great Halloween adventure. Hop aboard Dublin’s spookiest bus for interactive storytelling, games and plenty of gruesome tales about the city’s past.
Designed specifically for children, the tour brings Dublin’s horrible histories to life with a professional actor and children’s entertainer. Kids can hear about Count Dracula, Dublin’s bodysnatchers and some of the city’s darker stories while having plenty of fun along the way. It’s a handy one to have on your Halloween plans!
Go Pumpkin Picking
Nothing says Halloween quite like finding your perfect pumpkin!
Head out of the city for a family day at one of Dublin’s pumpkin patches, where kids can pick their own pumpkin and enjoy some autumn fun along the way. Luggwoods is another popular option for families, with its enchanted forest setting, storytelling and pumpkin-picking experience. Bring the wellies, wrap up warm and don’t forget the camera!
Follow a Spooky Trail
If your little ones enjoy exploring, a Halloween trail is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening together.
Pumpkins After Dark at Newbridge House & Farm transforms the grounds into a glowing Halloween experience with illuminated pumpkin displays and colourful scenes. The trail is designed without jump scares, making it a gentler option for families with younger children.
You can also keep an eye out for family-friendly Halloween trails and events at Malahide Castle and other venues around Dublin.
Enjoy the Bram Stoker Festival
Dublin’s Bram Stoker Festival is one of the city’s biggest Halloween-season events, celebrating the Dublin-born author of Dracula with a programme of spooky fun, live performances, family events and plenty of gothic goings-on.
Taking place around Halloween, the festival is a great option for families looking to soak up the atmosphere of the season. Keep an eye on the programme for family-friendly events, daytime activities and Halloween experiences for kids.
It’s also a fun way to discover the darker side of Dublin while celebrating one of the city’s most famous literary figures.
Make Halloween a Family Day Out
With Halloween falling on Saturday 31 October 2026, there’s plenty of opportunity to make a full weekend of it. Dublin’s Halloween season starts well before the big night, with family events and activities taking place throughout October and the mid-term break.
