Yes that’s right, it’s not just park admission tickets that have been put on sale for HHN27 unseasonably early…. tours have too! There is just one slight catch though…
Universal recently updated their HHN official website with new flex-tickets and packages that include a hotel stay (FYI these are highly recommended). What many of us may have missed is the fact that the website allows tours to be added to these packages. They can’t be booked separately or with general admission tickets as they can only be added to these packages sold directly from Universal via their official site. In the meantime, lets look at what the tours include and how much they cost:
Unmasking The Horror Tour
You can add an Unmasking the Horror Tour starting from $74.99 per person, tax inclusive at the same time you book a Halloween Horror Nights Hotel + Ticket Package.
Available dates to book a tour are: September 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30; October 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31
Daytime guests can shine a light on the darkness of Halloween Horror Nights with an Unmasking the Horror Tour. On select days, get a chilling look into how Universal Orlando’s Art & Design team transforms the biggest names in horror into haunted houses on a lights-on VIP tour for up to 15 guests. Choose from the 2-2½ hour Morning Tour at 10:30am, or a 4-5 hour morning and afternoon combination tour. Enjoy a guided walking tour of up to three houses per tour (six for the combination tour), a commemorative Halloween Horror Nights lanyard and the chance to photograph select houses. Reservations are required and subject to availability. Due to the intensely graphic nature and lights-on viewing within the haunted houses, Unmasking the Horror Tours are not recommended for children under the age of 13. No costumes or masks allowed.
R.I.P. Tour
You can add a R.I.P. Tour starting from $159.99 per person, tax inclusive at the same time you book a Halloween Horror Nights Hotel + Ticket Package. Available dates to book a tour are: September 17, 21, 23, 24, 29, 30; October 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31
