Queen Mary is open for tours, but no Dark Harbor will be this year; however, there will be Shaqtoberfest (September 28 – October 31, 2023). Scroll down for info.
Dark Harbor at the Queen Mary in Long Beach is Southern California’s most terrifying Halloween event. The event features four mazes on the ship and three on land. Additionally, numerous monsters are scattered throughout the port of purgatory, whose sole purpose is to give you a good scare.
The mazes at Dark Harbor theme park include Deadrise. If you’re brave enough to enter, be warned that you may find yourself desperate to leave once inside this haunted inferno. The Submerged Maze is set on a sinking ship, and as you try to escape, you’ll discover there’s more to fear than just drowning.
Circus Big Top Terror dares you to run away with the circus for the night and join the most wicked group of monsters under a tent. Sideshow freaks are at every turn of the maze. Each one is more grotesque than the one before. You have never been to a circus like this one.
The feast is a new maze onboard the Queen Mary. Enter new areas never before open to Dar Harbor guests. The Chef and evil stowaways are cooking new ways to scare you and collect new victims to use as ingredients for dark recipes.
