11 dated events
Everything here is a dated event a venue has published on its own website: fright nights and family haunts, trick-or-treat trails, boo-at-the-zoos. Fall festivals with a corn maze and a scarecrow are autumn rather than Halloween and sit on the pumpkin page instead; a Day of the Dead remembrance is its own tradition and is not filed under this one.
11 dated events across 7 attractions, soonest first. Many are on selected nights only and several are ticketed separately — the venue’s own page, linked under every quote, is the one to check before you set off.
