Especially for Halloween, the “Dôme” of Pairi Daiza is transformed into a magical universe: welcome to the Cave of the Moon Dragons. Here, you will meet an impressive family of dragons, as majestic and fascinating as they are endearing. They guard a precious treasure: beautiful semi-precious stones from all corners of the world. Both children and adults can admire these extraordinary creatures in a fully transformed setting. For food lovers, there are food stalls offering a variety of savoury dishes and sweet treats. It is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a cosy moment together, surrounded by this unique atmosphere.

Video Mappings: the new additions

As night falls, Pairi Daiza comes to life like never before with three original video mappings, each telling a unique story:

“Pairi Daiza or The Garden of the 5 Wonders”, a brand-new and exclusive video mapping that brings the philosophy of Pairi Daiza to life through stunning visuals and enchanting effects. Projected onto the Cambron Abbey Tower, near the amphitheatre, this immersive experience is sure to captivate you.
The Monsters from the Depths will unleash fearsome creatures from the Lake. To witness the awakening of the Kraken, Loch Ness, and their companions, settle in on the floating terrace near the Izba and enjoy the panoramic view of the lake.
Happy Halloween, the video mapping on the roof of the Farm, offers a unique and magical visual experience for young and old alike.

These original creations were brought to life by Drop The Spoon and Grand Les Yeux.
