Of course, this spooktacular event isn’t just for those who love to be scared. There’s plenty of spook-free Halloween fun for kids during the day, plus more than 70 rides, four kids’ areas and games galore.

Tips for attending HalloWeekends with Kids
If I haven’t scared you away, that must mean you’re ready to take on HalloWeekend with your family. Before you head off on your spooky adventure, check out these tips for visiting the park with kids.
- Save money by purchasing discounted tickets online. Online ticket prices are seriously slashed compared to gate prices. Take advantage of the Friday the 13th sale, now through Friday, Sept. 13, for the best bargain.
