Spooky festivals and attractions for kids in Pennsylvania

This will be a Spooktakular month at Sesame Place. Every week-end in October from 10 am to 6 pm, you will get to celebrate Halloween with the Count and his friends Cookie Monster, Zoe, Grover and of course Elmo!. You will get to enjoy the Count's un-haunted castle maze, Elmo's World live show, themed character dining, trick and treat throughout the park as well as hayrides. This is the place to be for toddlers!

Enjoy spooky attractions as well as Halloween and fall decorations and activities all around the park. You definitely want to come and enjoy HersheyPark in the Dark with roller 'ghosters', Night Mares (carrousel) and the sooperBooperlopper (I want to go just for that!). Bring your flashlights to encounter more than 200 native North American animals.... Call 717 534 3900 for more information.

Every October week-end, come to the park and enjoy some kid friendly non scary Halloween activities. They describe it as an haunted playground and that is exactly what it is. The Park offers Halloween Haunt but be warned that their halloween haunt is not recommended for children under the age of 13 after 6 pm.

On October 22, 23, 29 and 30 from 10 am to 4 pm, go trick or treat a the zoo, a perfect outing for small children.

If you visit the Crayola factory during the month of October, you will have the opportunity to get very crafty making silly scarecrows, dancing leaf with watercolors, as well as pumpkin pencil pals. Kids who come in costume receive a dollar off their admission.

Friday October 28 till Sunday October 30th, for guests staying at the hotel, there will be devilish delights like tasty Halloween treats, tractor drawn hayrides and even an exquisite Masquerade Ball. Kids can enjoy trick or treating, spooky sing-a-longs and pumpkin carving. Guests can also attend a Ghost Hunting 101 presentation and participate in a real paranormal investigation with the team from Pocono Paranormal Research.

All October, you will be able to enjoy some traditional Halloween horror: hayride of horror, 3D alien encounter, barn of horror and carnage. What a scary program!

Pumpkinland is open till November 6th. There are thousands of pumpkins, a forty-foot scarecrow, a corn maze and fun activities for the kids. All October families can take hayrides to the friendly witches house. Do not miss their annual family costume parade on October 23rd at 3 pm.

This is one the most scariest haunted scaring park. I got scared just by visiting their website so this is definitely for your teenagers!
