Vampirates — Dinner Theater with a Spooky Twist in Buena Park (review)

Looking for a unique spooky season event where you can sit together as a family and enjoy the adventure around you? Vampirates in Buena Park is exactly that. It’s a seasonal overlay of the popular Pirate’s Dinner Adventure show, and it adds just the right touch of spooky flair without taking itself too seriously.

This is a family-friendly Halloween outing where you can cheer, laugh, and maybe even help in the show. The cast leans into the fun of vampires-meet-pirates, and the whole thing feels like a mash-up of swashbuckling stunts, music, and aerial acrobatics. There are sword fights, singing, and plenty of audience interaction to keep the energy up.

One of the highlights, aside from the incredibly talented cast, is definitely the spectacle—between the ship set, the lighting effects, and the costumes, it’s easy to get swept up in the world of the show. And since it’s a dinner theatre, you’re enjoying a full meal while all the action plays out around you.

They have a couple of food options, I had the vegetarian pasta. I quite liked it. The dessert was a chocolate brownie.

What I appreciated most is that Vampirates is approachable for all ages. It’s a little spooky, but not scary. It’s about atmosphere, story, and fun, making it a great option for families, groups of friends, or even a Halloween date night.
