A Few Fun Places to Spend Halloween

Looking for something different to do this Halloween? Tired of the same old trick-or-treat routine?
As Halloween quickly approaches, you may be wondering where you can go to celebrate the holiday in a new way. Here I have put together a list of a few places you might want to check out.
Winchester Mystery House, San Jose, CA
Yes, I know, I’ve told you about this bizarre mansion before. However, if you are looking for a great way to spend Halloween, how about trying out the flashlight tour of the mansion on the night of Halloween? They take you on a tour of the mansion with no lights but the ones in your hand! The house is creepy enough during the daylight hours, can you handle it at night in the dark? Stick around after the tour or arrive early for some fun festivities in the courtyard as well.
The American Museum Of Natural History, New York
This one is a fun event for the whole family. You can dress up and trick-or-treat through the halls of the museum at night. Kids will have fun seeing their favorite characters wandering the museum as well as participating in Halloween craft projects and listening to live performances.
Walt Disney World
Go celebrate with your favorite Disney Characters at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! Kids can dress up in costume, watch the parade and fireworks, as well as trick or treat in various areas of the park.
Fort Knox, Maine
Check out this years festivities at Fright At The Fort where you will be led through the halls of Fort Knox where indescribable things lurk in the shadows, creating screams of fright. Not recommended for children under age 12.
Six Flags Fright Fest
This one is taking place through the month of October at any Six Flags theme park. During the day there is fun for the whole family, trick-or-treating, face painting and more. At night there are more frightening happenings geared for the adults with roaming monsters and rides decorated just for Halloween.
Other than these places, you can check out any haunted houses and frightful events going on in your area. The most important thing is to get out there and have fun! Got something exciting going on in your hometown? I would love to hear about it! Post your favorite Halloween celebration in the comments section here!

Fright at the Fort is scary, but I think some under age 12 can handle it well. If your child watches horror movies with no ill effects, they can handle Fright. I know, I run the event!

Have you been on the Winchester Mystery House Tour? It varies from just ok to incredibly boring depending on the crowd you’re with. It certainly won’t please the kids to take them there instead of some fun Halloween activity.
