Happy October! The hot temperatures of summer are behind us, the leaves are falling from the trees and harvest time is happening all across the country. If you’re planning on traveling during the season change, you’ll want to take in some of the Halloween traditions in your vacay town!
Here are our tips for Halloween vacation travel:
Packing
Make sure to pack your costumes! But be careful. You don’t get your costume wrinkled and ruined before you even wear it. Be conscientious about what props you bring with you. If you’re going on a plane, plastic weapons, bombs or any type of “threatening” prop are not allowed in your carry-on. Any explosive-looking items should be left at home! The TSA will treat even a plastic bomb as unsafe and possibly explosive, even if they’re in your checked-baggage.
Ghost Tours & Haunted Houses
Once you choose your destination, find some spooky places to get horrified! Almost every town has some sort of fear-inducing tour or hayride to get your adrenaline spiked. Most ghost tours have a toned-down version for the kids earlier in the day too!
Town Festivals & Parades
Most towns also host a festival day too! If you’re in a condo area, you’ll especially want to find a cool place for your kids to grab some candy on the big day. Businesses in towns usually have sweets out and welcome the faces of dressed up little ones.
Afterdark Fun
Bar-culture tends to love afterdark activities on Halloween! The local hot spots are sure to having some extra fun planned for their patrons from mysterious-cocktails to dance parties.
