Halloween means one thing in our book—fun, fun, and more fun. Technically, it might be one day, but we say pack your October calendar as full as you can. Need ideas? Scroll down for the best Halloween activities for all ages. Whether you are looking for things to do on Halloween with friends or rainy-day Halloween activities for the kiddos (see also, easy Halloween crafts for toddlers and Halloween crafts for kids), we’ve checked all the boxes.
You’ll find party activities, like traditional Halloween games, inspiration for a Halloween movie night, and, of course, all the classic family outings, like excursions to the local pumpkin patch and corn maze. And if your budget is tight, not to worry because there are plenty of things you can do for free, like swapping scary ghost stories or telling silly Halloween jokes.
Staying home? Head to the kitchen to conjure up some delicious Halloween treats. Or vie for the status of spookiest house on the block by crafting your own DIY Halloween decorations. The possibilities are endless, really. But the following Halloween activities are our absolute faves.
