The new, indoor experience chose Chicago due to its large population and reputation as a leading destination for tourism and entertainment.
Fans love their horror experiences, and this new location is part of the brand’s growth strategy to reach new audiences.
“Universal Horror Unleashed delivers on our promise to create highly immersive and terrifying horror experiences that connect with fans year-round,” said Page Thompson, President, New Ventures, Universal Destinations & Experiences.
“We’re excited to bring this bold concept to life in Chicago, a city known for its vibrant culture. We’re grateful for the city’s support as we convert this dormant site into a unique attraction that showcases our storytelling expertise and ability to deliver mind-blowing experiences that shatter guest expectations.”

The new venue will be located on Chicago Avenue at the former Tribune Distribution Center, situated between the River North and West Town districts. This is Universal’s first branded experience in the Midwest.
Next Level Horror
The year-round concept will deliver immersive entertainment that goes beyond the theme parks, bringing spine-chilling thrills, a terrifying ambiance, and unforgettable scares to guests.
The horror will also extend to the food and beverage offerings, with themed eats and drinks. Fans can also check out exclusive merchandise and more in a new merchandise location.

The first Universal Horror Unleashed location was announced in January 2023 and will open later this year in Las Vegas on August 14, 2025.
