If you are brave enough, venture into the unknown at one of the REALLY SPOOKY Halloween sites. And may all go well with you on your journey!
Autumn events taking place throughout the month of October often feature some Halloween-type mayhem or decorations of a less-frightening nature. These include corn mazes, apple orchard events, zoo happenings, park events, and community or mall-wide celebrations.
However, there are Halloween attractions in the Twin Cities area that can be downright bone-chilling – it pays to do some reading on the internet before heading out to a site as certain attractions may be far too intense for the younger crowd.
A Halloween paper decoration, circa 1920-1950. The scarecrow doesn’t look all that scary – the crows want to be his friend!
Family-friendly trick-or-treat opportunities will be available on a variety of dates at both of the Twin Cities’ zoos prior to Halloween. In addition, Minnesota Zoo members who meet registration requirements will be able to join in the Halloween festivities at that site on October 31, 2012.
Here are details about Halloween events at the zoos:
A tin lithographed Halloween tambourine, circa 1940-1950.
The weather can be a bit “iffy” at the end of October – celebrating Halloween indoors at one of the Twin Cities’ shopping malls might be a good alternative to having the little ghosts and goblins go trick-or-treating in private neighborhoods.
Many malls are hosting trick-or-treat events. Here are some of the Halloween events or related activities that are currently listed on mall websites:
A Halloween postcard, circa 1900-1910. The artist cleverly combined pumpkin, ghost and a witch’s broom to cover all the bases!
It’s Boo time! Think Halloween for featured events that are scheduled to be held in our Minneapolis parks during October, 2012.

All kinds of kid-friendly “Boo” activities are featured on the Arboretum event schedule for October.
Grab your cameras and head for the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, Minnesota. You won’t be disappointed with the virtually unlimited photo opportunities throughout the grounds that are especially inviting at this season of the year.
And if you like being spooked in a good way, note that Arboretum staff members have been busily getting ready for Halloween. Among other spooky events on the calendar, the popular “Ar-BOO-retum!” will take place on October 31 with free admission that day for all who arrive in costume.

Note: When you need to get a car fixed – now – a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, even if that means visiting a junkyard on an ungodly dark, rainy, windy end of October night. Freddy climbed the eight-foot wooden perimeter fence at Pick N’ Pull just after midnight – uh, not good!

Freddy needed that mount for his daughter’s engine-and he needed it now. Never mind that it was eleven PM and normal people were turning in for the night. No, he’d spent three hard days and nights getting that car right for her to drive back to college this weekend. No way was a lousy seventeen dollar part gonna stop him now.
