Looking for a new way to celebrate spooky season with your family? 🎃 Step into a world of imagination and art at Otherworld Philadelphia’s “Hallowonders”, a limited-time fall experience happening October 18 through November 3, 2025.
Located in Northeast Philly, Otherworld Philadelphia transforms into a glowing, otherworldly Halloween playground this season - and it’s perfect for families who love creativity, color, and a little bit of spooky fun!
Hallowonders is a fall-themed activation inside the immersive art space, Otherworld Philadelphia. The event features six new Halloween-inspired exhibits filled with vibrant lights, interactive installations, and mysterious creatures waiting to be discovered around every corner.
Throughout the event (October 24-25th, October 31 & November 1st), families can also enjoy festive trick-or-treat activities and Halloween-themed surprises designed for all ages. It’s more playful than scary, making it a great fit for kids - especially those who love exploring art, colors, and imagination.
If you’re looking for something beyond the usual pumpkin patch or haunted house, Hallowonders offers a completely different take on fall fun:
Interactive art exhibits your kids can actually touch and explore
Photo-worthy moments in every room (bring your camera - or phone!)
Kid-friendly trick-or-treat events throughout the experience (select dates)
A magical mix of spooky and silly that’s fun for both kids and adults
Pro tip: Plan for about 60–90 minutes to explore the space - and wear something festive for the cutest photos!
For families who haven’t visited yet, Otherworld Philadelphia is an immersive art experience made up of larger-than-life installations created by local artists. It’s colorful, imaginative, and encourages visitors to interact with the art - from glowing tunnels to dreamy landscapes that feel straight out of a storybook.
It’s an amazing way to introduce kids to art and creativity in a hands-on, memorable way.
