With Covid measures easing a bit from last year, Haunt O’ Ween returns to the Promenade at Westfield Topanga in Woodland Hills. With 150,000 sq ft of Halloween fun, Haunt ‘O Ween has once again magically transformed this mundane parking lot into a family-fun playground. While masks are not required, they are encouraged for all guests but rest assured this is an exclusively outdoor event.
This event does indeed appeal to everyone. It is essentially a mini amusement park, complete with face painting, carnival games, pumpkin carving and painting, a merry go round and mini-roller coaster, hay maze, tunnels with lights and mirrors, and trick or treating at a dozen houses (so pro tip: bring a basket or bag to put your candies in!) Not to mention the countless photo ops anywhere you look. They have over 35,000 pumpkins! To make this experience even more immersive you can interact with performers like stilt-walkers at the carnival, and scarecrows waiting to give you a jumpscare in the maze. There is so much to do that you could easily spend an entire day there doing it all!
A huge shoutout to their sponsor’s Fever, Westfield, SBE, C3 Creating Culinary Communities, and Malibu Wines (enjoy their wine garden). Promoting the new *Addams Family” movie is a life-size replica of their mansion facade. Other promotional items include KiwiCo’s themed wooden kits for sale, and besides candy to appease your sweet tooth, try some guilt-free “Faves”, which includes 1 serving of fruits and vegetables per bag. On-site food sponsors cooking up some fan favorites near the exit include Umami burgers, Sam’s Crispy Chicken, La Gente Taqueria’s tacos and quesadillas.
Some added reminders: If you want photos with natural light, arrive by 5:00 p.m. since sunset is around 7:00 p.m.. Bring some extra cash for the always-in-demand glowing merch. Parking is ample and free, and there is no time limit to your stay, except of course when it closes. And lastly, dress up! Wear something Halloweeny because this is costume season after all!

Although I didn’t want this night to end, I know all good things must come to it, so I will end with this: I was blown away by how flawless this experience was! But I’m honestly not that surprised since this is coming to us from the pros at Experiential Supply Co.. This will go down in the books as one of my favorites for the Halloween season, definitely this year! So go now because November will be here before you know it!
31 Days of Haunt O’ Ween runs October 1st through Halloween from 5:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.. If you want to pick up your own tickets or find out more information about the event, head Here.
