Trick-or-treating with a pig family, a pumpkin patch built for tiny hands, and a whole month of costumed character meet-and-greets mark a genuine milestone for North Texas’s newest family attraction.
Peppa Pig Theme Park, North Richland Hills, TX — October 1 through November 1, 2026
There’s a specific kind of magic in watching a two-year-old meet their favorite cartoon character in person for the first time, and this October, Peppa Pig Theme Park is betting that magic gets even better with a pumpkin in hand. Peppa’s Halloween Party marks the very first seasonal celebration in the park’s short but eventful history, and it’s shaping up to be a genuine milestone for a park that’s spent a year and a half quietly building a devoted following among North Texas’s youngest theme park fans.
A Park Built From the Ground Up for Toddlers
To understand why this Halloween event matters, it helps to know where the park came from. Peppa Pig Theme Park opened in North Richland Hills in March 2025, becoming only the second standalone Peppa Pig Theme Park in the entire country, following an earlier location in Florida. It’s operated by Merlin Entertainments, the same company behind Legoland Discovery Center and Sea Life Aquarium just up the road in Grapevine, and it holds a licensing agreement with Hasbro specifically to build attractions aimed at the preschool market.
The park sits on 14 acres at the former site of the Mountasia Family Fun Center, right beside NRH2O Family Water Park along Boulevard 26. Everything about the design centers on one audience: children six and under. Five rides, including Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster, Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride, and Grandad Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride, sit alongside nine themed play areas like Muddy Puddles Splash Pad, Peppa’s Treehouse, and George’s Fort. The park also holds Certified Autism Center status, meaning families with sensory-sensitive kids can visit knowing the environment has been specifically designed with them in mind.
What Halloween Looks Like Through a Toddler’s Eyes
Peppa’s Halloween Party runs every single day from October 1 through November 1, with the exception of Wednesdays, when the park stays closed. Rather than a single weekend event, this gives families a full month to plan around their own schedules.
Walking through the gates during the celebration, guests will find character meet-and-greets front and center, with Peppa and George Pig dressed up in their own Halloween costumes for photo opportunities throughout the day. At select times, a mini parade winds its way through the park, giving younger kids a chance to watch, wave, and maybe even join in without the intensity of a full nighttime event.
Outdoors, the park adds two seasonal touches built entirely with little ones in mind: a hay bale maze, gentle and low-stakes enough for toddlers to navigate on their own, and a pumpkin patch where families can pick out a small pumpkin, purchase it for an additional fee, and take it home to decorate together later. Indoors, the park’s cinema swaps its usual programming for Halloween-themed episodes of the show, giving parents a built-in cool-down spot if the day gets long. A Halloween-themed stage show featuring the entire pig family rounds out the entertainment lineup, and specialty Halloween-colored drinks are available throughout the park for an extra treat.
The Big Finale: Halloween Day Itself
October 31 gets its own special treatment. On top of the regular Halloween Party programming, the park adds daytime trick-or-treating throughout the grounds, along with special giveaways for anyone who shows up that day. For families who want the full Halloween experience without the late-night crowds or scarier elements of adult haunted attractions, this is about as gentle and joyful an introduction to trick-or-treating as a theme park can offer.
Planning Your Visit
Standard admission pricing applies throughout the Halloween Party, with tickets starting around $30 per person and children under 2 admitted free. Families planning multiple visits, or ones who already know they’ll want to come back for Christmas programming later in the year, can pick up an annual pass for $99.99, covering unlimited admission for a full year.
