- My family attends Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights several times a year.
- This year, we’re going to spend over $3,000 on tickets, food, and merch.
- No matter how much it costs, I think HHN is the best Halloween event in Central Florida.
As a journalist who covers theme parks and lives in Central Florida , I often joke that the spooky season is my Super Bowl.
From family-friendly Halloween parties at Disney World to jump-scare-filled haunted houses at SeaWorld, my family starts making its seasonal rounds in late August. But there’s one event that stands above the rest: Halloween Horror Nights , or HHN, at Universal Studios Florida.
This year alone, my family will spend over $3,000 attending the scary but fun event — and that’s not even the most we’ve spent in a single season.
Here’s why we invest so much in HHN and why I think it’s the best theme-park Halloween event.
HHN runs for nine weeks throughout the Halloween season.
