This huge haunted experience is one of the largest of its kind in South Florida, and this season is stacking up to be the most epic yet, featuring five brand-new haunted attractions and Florida’s only 3D haunted house. Set inside the abandoned Sears at Miami International Mall, House of Horror 2025 spans more than 100,000 square feet of immersive, Florida-inspired nightmares (so you know it's going to be twisted), from cursed swamps and haunted farmlands to post-apocalyptic wastelands and twisted clown funhouses. Outside, two new scare zones—The Harvest and Midway Mayhem—transform the midway into a spooky realm where scare actors and creepy carnival characters lurk. Tickets include unlimited carnival rides (like the Scarecoaster, South Florida’s only haunted roller coaster) and classic midway games. While you're there, explore over 20 food and beverage options, including Halloween-themed treats and liquid courage in the form of beer from CervecerÃa La Tropical.
Thought autumn was around the corner? Not to bum you out, but in Miami, September is basically Summer: The Redux, without as much of the frantically running around in search things to do with your kids (because, finally, they’re back at school). The good news: You can still enjoy Miami Spice, the city's epic restaurant months. Since the weather hasn't quite cooled down yet, your weekends likely involve trips to Miami’s many beaches (or hunkering down at a wine bar, movie theater or other Miami refuge when it's raining. But if you’re feeling festive, you can opt to sweat it out at a pumpkin patch in Miami (yes, they exist).
We know it’s tough to resist a seasonal outing, even if our city and its weather don’t cooperate. And let’s not forget the build-up to Halloween—plenty of spooky happenings are headed your way! So, clear your calendars: These are the best September events in Miami. And don't forget to check back often, as we're constantly adding new events around town.
