So you have kids. You wish to celebrate Halloween in Texas giving your family the most fun without the wailing because they got so spooked out of their wits. Where is the best place to go? Theme parks are nice, but there are places even your brave side can’t handle. Here are a few kid-friendly Halloween activities you can share with your kids, and still have fun trick or treating:
Boo at the Zoo – In Texas cities such as Fort Worth or San Antonio, ordinary tourist attractions transform into scary but kid-friendly Halloween venues. Fort Worth, for example, holds its 18th annual Boo at the Zoo with puppet shows, mazes, live animal shows, and musical acts. The zoo promises six fun nights full of Halloween treats. You can purchase their tickets online or by phone when they go on sale on October 2.
Creepshow – The Kettle Art in Dallas holds it own Halloween art gallery exhibit starting October 24 until the 3oth. Admission is free. The Creepshow gallery will showcase Halloween masks and paintings and is located at the Deep Ellum area. You can check out their Halloween events website at http://www.kettleart.com.
Pumpkin Parties and Festivals – No denizen of the Dallas metroplex has lived in this area without having ever seen the freshest collection of produce in the Dallas Farmer’s Market. This Halloween 2009, they will hold the Annual Pumpkin Party on the 18th of October. The Dallas Arboretum is another eager participant for the Halloween season. Their own great Pumpkin Festival will last until mid-November.
