Halloween Party at Springville Museum of Art
We are excited to be adding a new party to our list this year! This one is held at the Springville Museum of Art on Wednesday, October 26th from 5 pm to 8 pm. Believe me, I am jumping at the chance to combine Halloween fun with culture. The Museum of Art is a local treasure and I’ll take any chance I can get to expose my kiddos to it! There will be Halloween games, treats, scary stories, art projects and more for the kiddos to enjoy as they explore the haunted halls of art. Plus it’s another chance to wear fun costumes!
Little Haunts – This is the Place Heritage Park
Head to Salt Lake for some old-fashioned, non-scary Halloween fun with Little Haunts at This is the Place Heritage Park. Trick or treat in the pioneer village, visit the Story Witch, make take-home crafts and have so much fun! Plus my kids can’t get enough of the pony rides, train rides, and panning for gold! Little Haunts is this weekend as well as October 29th. Be sure to visit their site and print off a coloring page in advance so your kids can enter the contest as well!
Jakers Pumpkin Patch
Halloween isn’t complete without a visit to the pumpkin patch! Jakers in Springville is especially fun for the younger kiddos! Love that they open at 9 am – perfect for moms with preschoolers. Jump in the corn pile, take a hay ride or get lost in a maze – lots to do! Plus pumpkins start at $2.
Witch Fest at Gardner Village
This one has been a family favorite for almost 10 years and it just keeps getting better. The witch scavenger hunt is a must for us and it always ends with cheese bread and hot chocolate at the bakery. It’s a fantastic mix of Halloween for adults and children. Mom gets to check out the gorgeous shops an the kids get to have fun, too! My kids love the play area and I love the atmosphere. Dressing up makes it even more fun! Check out the schedule of events here.
Cornbelly’s at Thanksgiving Point
Cornbelly’s is another attraction that just keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. There’s so much to do that I am not surprised that they added season passes. Spooky shows, haunted mazes, fireworks and more! Their fun lasts all of October. You can check out their calendar of events here.
Scarecrow Walk at Homestead Resort
If you want to experience a true October in Utah, you have to head up the canyon to Midway. I guarantee it will be the prettiest fall experience you have this year. We love the quaintness of the Scarecrow Walk at Homestead Resort and the stunning foliage everywhere you look. Stop by the Homestead gift shop for some fudge before you go out and hike one of the many gorgeous trails! Here are a few more for our Midway favorites. Make a weekend of it and enjoy a relaxing stay at the Homestead, too!
