Halloween fun for whole family in St. Louis


Not-So-Haunted House in St. Louis
St. Louis has many Halloween activities for the kids but one of the best is the Not-So-Haunted House at the Magic House. Every kid gets their own autograph book, and as they trick or treat through the house, they can collect signatures from many of their favorite storybook characters. This year's characters include favorites from Peter Pan, Harry Potter and The Wizard of Oz. There is also a Haunted Trail for the older kids.
October 23 - 25 & October 30 - November 1, 2009 at Kirkwood

Boo at the Zoo
Another great Halloween event for children is Boo at the Zoo Nights. The Zoo is open late, starting October 16, for kid-friendly Halloween fun. Then, there's the Zoo's "Spooky Saturday" party on October 24, where children of all ages can trick-or-treat along the Zoo's Pumpkin Trail and join in a costume parade.
October 16 - 30, 2009 at Forest Park

Pumpkin Jamboree at Eckert's
Find perfect pumpkins at Eckert's Orchards. Their pumpkin patch has any size pumpkin you'd want, including ones that weigh up to 150 pounds. During weekends in October, Eckert's is hosting its Jumpin' Pumpkin Jamboree with wagon rides, live music, pony rides, a petting farm, funnel cakes and more. The Millstadt location also offers Haunted Hayrides through the orchard each Friday and Saturday in October.
Weekends in October, 2009 at Belleville, Millstadt & Grafton

Great Godfrey Maze
Wandering around a cornfield after dark can be a little scary, but it's pure fun at the Great Godfrey Maze. The giant maze is cut into seven acres of cornfield. This year, the maze trails are in the shape of a knight on a horse with a castle in the background. The maze is open during the day, but bring a flashlight and try the Haunted Maze at night. The Haunted Maze is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays starting October 9.
October 9 - 30, 2009 Glazebrook Park, Godfrey
