Harry Potter’s Forbidden Forest Is Coming to Mexico City — Tickets Go On Sale September 29

ByThe House Elves at Aguamenti

Students were always told to stay out of the Forbidden Forest. Mexico City is about to get a permission slip.

Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience — La Experiencia del Bosque Prohibido — opens on October 23, 2026 at Parque Naucalli in Naucalpan de Juárez, in the State of Mexico just outside Mexico City. It is the touring trail’s first stop in Mexico, presented by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences and Fever for a limited season, and the official site is already taking waitlist sign-ups.

The experience is a roughly 1 km (0.6-mile) outdoor trail, lit after dark, through the park’s woodland. Along the way you meet creatures from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films — unicorns, Hippogriffs and Nifflers among them — cast spells and try your hand at a Patronus. The walk takes about 60 to 90 minutes and ends in a themed village with food and drink stands, Butterbeer included, plus a shop selling official and exclusive merchandise.

How to Get Tickets

  • Waitlist: open now at HPForbiddenForestExperience.com and in the Fever app, and it gets you early access before the public sale.
  • General sale: Tuesday, September 29, 2026. Mexican outlets report the drop at 9:00 a.m. Mexico City time (11:00 a.m. ET).
