Queen Mary's Dark Harbor Returns to Long Beach for a Spooktacular Halloween Experience
After a four-year hiatus, Queen Mary's Dark Harbor has returned to Long Beach, Southern California, to deliver a hauntingly fun Halloween experience. This year's event promises to be the biggest and spookiest yet, with new and returning haunted mazes, live entertainment, and immersive attractions that will leave visitors screaming for more.
Dark Harbor transforms the Queen Mary and its surrounding harbor into a massive Halloween festival featuring haunted mazes, hundreds of monsters, immersive attractions, live entertainment, VIP experiences, themed bars and lounges, carnival rides, festive eats and treats, and Instagrammable moments. The festival format allows visitors to pick and choose from a variety of attractions and experiences, making it a must-visit for Halloween enthusiasts.
One of the standout features of this year's Dark Harbor is the new and returning haunted mazes. The Big Top Terror maze features the iconic Ringmaster character, who lures unsuspecting visitors into a deadly labyrinth of jack o'lanterns. Another maze, Lullaby, is a familiar favorite that has been revamped with an all-new maze path and sets, introducing fans to some of Scary Mary's family members. The FEAST Maze takes visitors on a terrifying journey into the legend of Chef, while the Deadrise maze sees Captain and his dark vessel's crew rising from the deep for a battle against the living.
In addition to the haunted mazes, Dark Harbor offers a variety of live entertainment options. The Maiden Voyage Launch Party is a ghoulish spectacle that takes place in the ShipYard at 8:08 pm, featuring the Captain calling upon his minions and monsters to rise from their graves. The Final Voyage dance party celebrates The Queen Marys final voyage to Long Beach, which included stops in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru. This event features modern Latin music and an appearance by el Diablo.
For those looking to elevate their experience, VIP upgrades are highly recommended. The VIP lounge offers excellent food and drinks, as well as the benefit of skipping long lines. Visitors can also enjoy exclusive access to secret speakeasies hidden inside and around the mazes and attractions. These secret bars provide a unique one-of-a-kind experience that adds to the overall spooky ambiance of the event.
Dark Harbor also includes various other attractions such as the Sideshow, where visitors can rub elbows with resident freaks and enjoy a show or a drink at the secret bar. The Creepy Cabanas offer private soirees with instant access to Sideshow & Swings. The R.I.P. Lounge provides an exclusive ghost-eye-view VIP bar with all-you-can-eat tacos. The Sinister Swings feature the infamous Neverland Ranch Ride, adding to the carnival-like atmosphere of the festival.
