House of Horror Haunted Carnival is preparing to open its 25th season at Tropical Park on September 24, 2026. The new address is 7900 Southwest 40th Street in Miami, a key detail for anyone returning to the seasonal attraction.
This is a September 14 preview of an upcoming opening, not a report that the gates are already open or that the venue move was announced today. The operator’s website lists September 24 as opening day, and Haunted Attraction Network reports a season running through November 1.
The announced program includes five new haunted houses, carnival rides and a haunted dark coaster called Howie’s Blind Terror. The operator also describes House of Little Horrors, a separate lower-scare family area included with admission.
What the move means for visitors
Our take: the most useful piece of an attraction update is often the least glamorous one—the correct location. Returning visitors should build their plans around Tropical Park rather than an address saved from a previous season.
The second distinction is between advance information and an opening-night review. We have not experienced the 2026 attractions and are not rating their scares, operations or wait times. The features described here are the operator’s announced offering.
That means promotional descriptions should not become independent findings. A claim about being the biggest, most frightening or uniquely designed attraction would need separate support. This preview focuses instead on the verified location, dates and published admission information.
Tickets and expectations
The official website advertises general admission from $39.99, with additional charges indicated. Readers should check the final checkout total and the terms attached to their ticket rather than treating the advertised starting price as an all-in guarantee.
It also describes unlimited haunted-house and carnival access, while separately selling a priority-access option. Those are different products. A general-admission ticket should not be represented as guaranteed immediate entry to every attraction.
Families should review the actual attraction descriptions and restrictions before deciding what fits their group. A lower-scare area does not mean every part of the event is intended for the same audience, and the availability of a child-priced ticket is not a substitute for that review.
Before you go
Use the official calendar for the chosen date, including operating hours and closures. Save the current venue address, and recheck any event advisories before leaving home.

The practical headline is that a familiar South Florida Halloween attraction has an upcoming season at a new home. Put September 24 on the calendar if it fits your plans—but do not head over today expecting the carnival to be operating.
