Halloween Events Perth: Spooky Things to Do Around Perth
Halloween is just around the corner, and Perth is getting ready for a weekend of costumes, spooky surprises and family-friendly fun! With Halloween falling on Saturday, 31 October 2026, it's the perfect opportunity to get the kids dressed up, explore local events and make some memorable weekend plans.
Whether you're based in Baldivis, Harrisdale or elsewhere in Perth's southern suburbs, there are plenty of ways to get into the Halloween spirit. From exploring nature after dark to enjoying special events around the city, here's some inspiration for your Halloween plans.
1. Discover a Spooky Adventure in Baldivis
If your family enjoys a little mystery, a nighttime nature adventure could be just the ticket.
The Baldivis Children's Forest Halloween Night Stalk is scheduled for Saturday, 31 October. The experience invites visitors to explore the forest trails after dark and look or listen for local wildlife, including frogs, bats, possums and other nocturnal creatures.
The experience offers a chance for families to discover the forest in a different way, with younger children potentially preferring a less spooky adventure. Enclosed shoes and a torch are recommended because the forest paths are uneven.
However, the event has been listed as sold out, so check the organiser's latest updates rather than travelling without a booking.

2. Make Halloween Special at Perth Zoo
For families happy to travel a little further, Perth Zoo is hosting Boo at the Zoo on Friday, 30 October, and Saturday, 31 October.
The after-hours event features Halloween-themed activities, trick-or-treat stations, face painting, roving entertainers, music and more.
It's an opportunity for children to dress up, explore the zoo after hours and enjoy a Halloween experience with a difference.
Tickets have been listed at $38 per person plus booking fees for visitors aged two and older, with children under two admitted free. Check the official event page for current ticket availability and entry conditions before making plans.

3. Explore Halloween Events Around Perth
Halloween isn't just about trick-or-treating. Shopping centres, community venues and local organisers often put together activities that bring families together.
One option is the Halloween Scavenger Hunt at Village Green in Karawara, scheduled for Saturday, 31 October. The free event is advertised with a scavenger hunt, stilt walkers, face painting, a slime workshop, market stalls and other entertainment.
It's worth considering if you're looking for an activity that combines Halloween fun with a chance to explore local stalls and enjoy the community atmosphere.

4. Create Your Own Halloween Fun at Home
You don't need a ticket or a big outing to make Halloween memorable.
If you'd prefer to stay closer to home in Baldivis or Harrisdale, try putting together a few simple activities for the kids.
Dress-up time: Let everyone choose a favourite costume, whether it's a friendly ghost, a witch, a superhero or a cheeky monster.
Spooky snacks: Make Halloween-inspired treats using fruit, biscuits or other family favourites.
Pumpkin decorating: Decorate small pumpkins or draw spooky faces on paper cut-outs for a mess-free activity.
Halloween treasure hunt: Hide small treats around the house or garden and create clues for the children to follow.
Movie night: Finish the evening with a family-friendly Halloween film, cosy blankets and popcorn.
These simple ideas can be a fun alternative if local events are fully booked or you'd rather enjoy a relaxed Halloween with the family.
5. Add a Little Live Entertainment to Your Weekend
If you're looking for more family entertainment around Perth's southern suburbs, Halloween weekend can also be an opportunity to plan an outing beyond the spooky festivities.
Hudsons Circus is performing in Baldivis until 8 November 2026, followed by its scheduled season in Harrisdale from 11 to 29 November 2026.
With aerial acrobatics, comedy, daredevil motorbike performances and plenty of circus excitement, Hudsons Circus offers another option for families looking to enjoy live entertainment together.
For Halloween, families can also look out for Hudsons Circus' family-friendly Trick or Treat shows, featuring lollies for children, costume fun and prizes for the best-dressed guests. It's a chance to enjoy Halloween with circus magic rather than traditional scares.

6. Plan Ahead for a Safe and Enjoyable Halloween
Before heading out, check event details and booking requirements, as popular events may sell out. It's also worth planning your route, allowing extra time for parking and checking any age recommendations.
If the kids are dressing up, choose comfortable costumes and footwear suitable for walking. For trick-or-treating, stay together, use well-lit routes and check treats before children eat them.
Most importantly, choose activities that suit your family's ages and interests. Halloween can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you like.
