The only thing more terrifying than the ghosts and goblins of Halloween is how pricey it can be for your family to enjoy autumn activities.
Are you looking for fun and frightening ways to enjoy Halloween on the cheap this year? Then you’re in the right place.
The great part about living in Connecticut is that you are right in the thick of the New England foliage scene. This makes fall the perfect time to explore your state! Fall is also the best time to visit Mystic Aquarium, during their annual Fall-o-Ween Fest.
There’s something dark in the water at Mystic Aquarium as they put on a spooky and spectacular menagerie of events for you and your family during the weekend of Friday October 29th to Sunday October 31st.
It is fun for the whole family, including a spooky sea lion show, carnival games, and face painting. There is no shortage of activities for spook lovers who love a good chill down their spine, such as a scary haunted house, a dark exploration station, a haunted maze, and underwater pumpkin carving!
Mystic didn’t forget that adults love to celebrate the season as well. Under a dark sky and pale moon, even grown-ups will be enchanted by the mystique of Mystic. Adults twenty one and up will be able to take part in seasonal ale tasting, washed down with season fall culinary delights. Your way will be lit by hundreds of Jack o’ lanterns.
If you are looking for a thrilling way to celebrate fall, head down to Mystic Aquarium during Fall-o-Ween.
If you are a Mystic Aquarium Member, admission for this event is free. If you have been considering becoming a Mystic Aquarium member, now might be a perfect time to join. Visit www.mysticaquarium.org for the complete schedule of events and ticket information.
