SPOOKY AT ILLUMI has returned for its third consecutive year, building on the success of its 2023 event, which drew over 100,000 visitors. This year, the attraction offers revamped autumn and Halloween-themed installations, including "a striking jack-o-lantern tunnel, playful black lights, lasers, and 20 million LED lights. Notably, the event features the 47-meter-tall tree of lights, a major highlight."
As the event runs from October through early November, it will then transition into THE HOLIDAYS AT ILLUMI, continuing until January 13, 2025. Additionally, to provide a family-friendly experience, children can "enjoy complimentary access when accompanied by two adults with purchased tickets, available until October 24, 2024."
Spanning 600,000 square feet, the event introduces two new themed areas: PUPPIES AND KITTIES, celebrating pets, and DUNE PALACE, a Sahara Desert-inspired voyage. These new features aim to enrich and diversify the experience for visitors alongside the light show's other unique sections.
