Halloween is still one of my favorite holidays even as an adult, and one of the few times where you can act like a kid and hardly anyone bats an eye. Lucky for us their are a ton of cool Halloween events to do with kids.

1. Engwalls Corn Maze: This maze has become pretty famous over the years, and is a yearly tradition for many families. It opens on Saturday September 17th and goes until October 30th.  This is truly fun for the whole entire family with Maze Games, Hay rides, pumpkin bowling and many more activities.  Website

3. Boo at the Zoo:   This event has gotten so big that they have to spread it our over 2 Saturdays October 15th and 22nd. This is a super fun way for the kids to show off their costumes, go Trick or Treating and get to visit the animals at the zoo. Website
4. The Haunted Shack: Open October 14th-29th.This attraction started many years ago as a community Haunted House in the basement of a Fire Hall in Gary New Duluth.
