October Festivals and Fun
Fright Fest at Six Flags America
Sept 27 – Nov 2nd
Before 6 PM, enjoy Halloween-themed shows for the family and trick or treating for kids. But once the sun begins to set, the ghouls come out to haunt the midways. Evening hours feature bone-chilling walk-through attractions, eerie shows and teeth-chattering thrill rides.
Boo at the Zoo

With more than 40 not-so-spooky treat stations, animal demonstrations, keeper chats, and decorated trails, this event is frightfully fun for the whole family. Don’t forget your costume!
