Blood Manor: Now through Nov. 4

There are haunted houses, and then there’s Blood Manor: 10,000 square feet of absolutely terrifying corridors, themed rooms, and a labyrinth of passageways with creepy creatures lurking in the shadows. It’s a perfect attraction for horror fans. And if you’re feeling brave, check it out on November 3 and 4 for Lights Out Nights, where your group will have a single glowstick to navigate this house of horrors. Park your car nearby in Tribeca and get ready to be truly frightened at Blood Manor.

Halloween House at The Oculus: Now through November 1

If you like your haunted houses to be more fun than frightening, look no further than Halloween House at The Oculus. There are no jump scares or spooky actors, just loads of fun throughout this immersive Halloween world. Themed rooms in this haunted house include a trick-or-treat room, a glow-in-the-dark room, the horror movie graveyard, and a vampires’ lair. Find your parking nearby and be on your way to a fun Halloween experience.

50th Annual Village Halloween Parade: October 31

It all started with a neighborhood walk in 1973. That’s when mask maker and puppeteer Ralph Lee and his family and friends would walk from house to house. Now, 50 years later, it’s one of the biggest Halloween parades in the world, with approximately 70,000 participants in costumes and around 2 million people coming to watch it every year. Even with its large size, it stays true to its grassroots origins and has art at the heart of it all. The Village Halloween Parade goes on rain or shine, and our nearby parking locations make it easy to start an adventure in NYC, no matter the weather.

Icon Parking takes the fear out of parking with a seamless website and app for mobile check-in, check-out and payment. If you have any questions, let us know.
