Halloween 2026 at La Défense: A haunted maze, zombies, and free workshops for the whole family.

Zombies in La Défense? On Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, 2026, the business district of Paris La Défense in the Hauts-de-Seine (92) will celebrate Halloween 2026 with a lineup of activities for families and thrill-seekers alike. From haunted labyrinths to creative workshops, makeup, and immersive experiences, visitors can look forward to two days of festivities, including several events that are free and no reservation required.

The main attraction will unfold on Place de la Défense, where a haunted 150m² labyrinth is set up for the occasion. Participants will need to navigate a maze decked out for Halloween, dodging traps and creatures that may emerge around the next corner. Free to access and no booking required, the labyrinth opens on Friday, October 30 from 12:00 to 18:00, and then on Saturday, October 31 from 11:00 to 18:00.

Near the maze, a makeup station will let both children and adults transform into witches, vampires, skeletons, or other fantastical creatures. The activity will also be free and no reservation required, running during the same hours as the maze.

Families can also participate in pumpkin-carving workshops, hosted at Espace Info Paris La Défense and in the Jardin des Reflets. Guided in small groups, these workshops will guide you as you carve a pumpkin and leave with your own Halloween lantern. The activity is free, suitable for ages 8 and up and requires prior registration. Several time slots are offered on the Paris La Défense website.

For those who want to keep Halloween going into the night, the Zoo Art Show is staging a special tour called Zoo in the Dark, on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The premise? To explore the four exhibition floors of this street art museum, plunged into darkness, using only a flashlight to discover the works. The tour continues in the Zoo Art Show’s immersive bar, with a DJ set by Gero and a digital graffiti wall where visitors can let their creativity run free. Unlike the parvis animations, this evening is paid and accessible by reservation.

Another Halloween option: TOCA Social, the interactive football-themed entertainment venue, is running a special promotion from October 15 to 31, 2026. Participants will try their hand at Zombie Attack, a game where they must eliminate as many zombies as possible before the time runs out.
