The Haunting Aboard Showboat

The Haunting Aboard Showboat brings two Halloween experiences to one night at Showboat Hotel Atlantic City. It's on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Start with the Haunted Walk. From 6:00 to 7:00 PM it's family-friendly, and from 7:00 to 9:00 PM the scares get stronger. Then head to the indoor Fall Fest and Costume Party. All night you can pick and decorate a pumpkin, dance to a Halloween playlist, play Halloween games, visit vendor tables and collect candy on the Showboat Trick-or-Treat Trail. Food and drinks are available for purchase.

Costumes are encouraged! Enter our costume contests for prizes. There are categories for adults, teens and families. Select tickets also include time at Lucky Snake Arcade.

Tickets: Experience Both is $30. It includes the Haunted Walk and Fall Fest plus a 15-minute arcade time card. Haunted Walk Only is $25 and includes a 10-minute arcade time card. Hotel guests can enjoy the whole experience for $20. Every ticket comes with free parking in our AirGarage. Your parking code is issued when you buy your ticket.

Vendors wanted: Local businesses and organizations can apply for a table on the Showboat Trick-or-Treat Trail for $25. Each vendor gets a six-foot table and exposure to local families and hotel guests. You can hand out promotional materials and meet the Showboat Sales and Events team. Every vendor is also entered in the Best Decorated Vendor Table Contest: $75 gift card for first place, $50 for second and $25 for third. Vendors should bring individually wrapped candy, decorate their table with a Halloween or fall theme and stay for the full event. Any product sales need Showboat's approval first.

Haunted attraction intensity increases after 7:00 PM, so parents should use discretion. Event details are subject to change. Get your tickets today!
