Yes, we moved. For the 2026 season House of Horror is at Tropical Park, 7900 SW 40th St, Miami, FL 33155 — we are no longer at Miami International Mall in Doral. Any listing showing the Doral address is out of date. Tropical Park is just southwest of where the Palmetto Expressway meets Bird Road.
From the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) or Don Shula Expressway (SR 874), take the Bird Road exit (SW 40th Street) and head west to the third stoplight at SW 79th Avenue, opposite the McDonald’s. Turn left into the park. From the Florida Turnpike Homestead Extension, take the Bird Road exit and head east about four miles to the SW 79th Avenue stoplight, roughly two blocks before the Palmetto overpass.
Tropical Park has two main entrances: Bird Road (SW 40th Street) and Miller Drive (SW 56th Street). On busy October nights, follow the parking attendants’ directions — they’ll route you to the fastest available lot.
Tropical Park sits in southwest Miami-Dade at the Palmetto and Bird Road, so it’s central to most of the county. Approximate drive times: Kendall 10–15 minutes, Doral 15–20, Coral Gables 15, South Miami 10, Miami Beach 25–30, Fort Lauderdale 45–60. Traffic on October weekends will add to these.
