Halloween Fun!

Are you looking for something fun to do for Halloween? Let me point you in the right direction. October and Fall are my favorite times of the year. The beautiful changing colors, the cooling temperatures and all things apple spice! This might be a little controversial, but I believe apple flavors are far superior to pumpkin ones! Did you know you could get an Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato from Starbucks INSTEAD of pumpkin spice?? Of course you can swap out the milk if you want something different but the Apple Crisp flavor is AMAZING!

After you grab your crispy warm fall drink head over to Page Farms in Raleigh and get a pumpkin! Your ticket includes 1 pumpkin per paid admission from the patch, Corn Maze, Hayride, Playground, Cow Train, Farm Animals, and much more! Page Farms is great if you need something to do with the kiddos or if you’re looking for a cute date idea. Grab some cute photos and a pumpkin or two for carving to celebrate the season. They will be open until October 31st so make sure you grab a ticket now!

Another really fun an exciting thing to do would be Oktoberfest! Clouds Brewing in Raleigh is hosting a traditional Oktoberfest with German food and dancing, stein holding contests, a tapping of the Keg ceremony and more! The event is Saturday October 28th from 2pm – 9pm and the admission is only $15 at the door. Grab your German attire and head over for a super fun Saturday. Once you get a taste of what Clouds Brewing has to offer make sure you don’t miss their other events and give them a follow on Instagram @cloudsbrewingraleigh.

Last but certainly not least, you have to go to a HAUNTED HOUSE! The best part about Halloween is getting to scare yourself or even better, your friends. Raleigh and the surrounding cities have so many different options for haunted houses but a couple of my favorites include the Granville Haunt Farm which is a drive through haunted experience. It is pretty affordable at about $5/person and you don’t have to get out of your car. Make sure you roll your windows down for an even spookier adventure. This is also great if you want to include the kiddos in something scary but not TOO scary. Plus the kids don’t ever have to unbuckle so bring some snacks or some hot cocoa and enjoy.

I know, you are thinking but I want something SUPER SCARY… SO if you want to step up the scary a notch definitely go check out the Haunted Forest at Panic Point. Tickets are a little more expensive for this experience but you do get to choose from 5 different attractions. It is one of the best haunted attractions in Raleigh. This is great to go to with your friends, its definitely an experience you will ALL remember.

There are definitely many things to do in Raleigh this time of year but hopefully these are a few things you will really enjoy. I hope your Halloween weekend is full of fun and adventure.
