HallOVeen is back at Opportunity Village’s Magical Forest for its 13th year, bringing Halloween attractions to the nonprofit’s Las Vegas campus on select dates through Oct. 31. The family-friendly event raises money for Opportunity Village and its work serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The 2026 event opened Oct. 2 and runs Oct. 2-4 and Oct. 9-31. It is open from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Admission is $24, and children 3 and younger are free. This year, tickets are date-specific, so guests need to choose an attendance date when purchasing.
That mix helps explain HallOVeen’s staying power. It is a Halloween outing with a clear local address and a purpose beyond the decorations. The Magical Forest brings the seasonal fun. The nonprofit behind it benefits from the event.
What’s happening at the Magical Forest?
HallOVeen takes over 2.5 acres at the Magical Forest, located at 6300 W. Oakey Blvd. The event’s official HallOVeen page lists rides, games, food, nightly entertainment and trick-or-treat stations among the attractions.
Visitors can take a ride on the Forest Express train or Cheyenne’s Enchanted Carousel, try the 50-foot Avalanche Slide, play mini golf or walk through Hal & Hally’s Slightly Spooky Funhouse. The haunted forest path adds a Halloween touch, while the Magical Midway offers games and activities. There are also places to get food and treats, and a beer garden is open on select evenings for guests 21 and older.
It is a lot to fit into one evening, but the point is not to sprint through a checklist. Families can make the walk, rides and trick-or-treat stops the main event, then take a break for food or entertainment. Think seasonal night out, not a full-scale theme park.
Plan for the 2026 schedule
The remaining scheduled dates are Oct. 9-31. Sunday-through-Thursday hours are 5:30 to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday hours are 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. The box office closes 30 minutes before the park, according to Opportunity Village. Because admission is date-specific this season, check the event page before heading out and make sure the ticket date matches your plan.
The event is outdoors, so visitors should dress for the weather. Opportunity Village welcomes costumes, with some restrictions on adult face coverings. Check its current event information for the latest details before visiting.
Why the event is tied to Opportunity Village
HallOVeen is more than a seasonal attraction operating on a nonprofit campus. Opportunity Village says the event raises money for its mission of serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The organization describes its work as including day services, workforce development, community employment, inclusive housing, arts and social recreation.
Those services give the Halloween event a direct connection to the community organization behind it. Opportunity Village has operated in Southern Nevada since 1954 and runs programs and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Its overview of the organization also identifies HallOVeen and the Magical Forest among its signature events.
The event page does not state that each ticket purchase supports a particular program or specify how much of an individual ticket goes to services. The confirmed point is broader: HallOVeen raises money for Opportunity Village’s work. That is meaningful without overselling the details.
A recurring October stop
For Las Vegas, HallOVeen offers something easy to recognize: a Halloween event that returns to the same local setting and connects the night out to a nonprofit’s work. Its 13th year is a sign of continuity, not proof that every family attends or that it is the city’s biggest Halloween event.
The attractions give families a reason to spend time at the forest. The nonprofit mission gives the event a local identity beyond seasonal décor. In a town that knows how to put on a show, that combination has its own pull.
