Are you relocating to the Philadelphia area in October (or have you recently arrived) and wonder what sort of events are going on? One of the best ways to get to know a new area (and to meet people) is to attend local events. Well, if you’ll be here in time for Halloween, you’re in luck. In addition to great seasonal events, like apple picking, hay rides, pumpkin picking to our unique Dance on the Falls Bridge (late September) Philadelphia does Halloween like nobody else. Famous for the Eastern State Penitentiary “Terror Behind the Walls“, that’s not all that you can see or do to enjoy Halloween locally. For a more suburban haunted house, try Lulu’s in Plymouth Meeting. How about the outdoor light festival celebrating all that is creepy and ghoulish? Try “The Glow” Jack-O-Lantern Experience. Looking for a Halloween-themed party? How about designing and making a scarecrow (or just walking through) the scarecrow walk at Morris Arboretum? If you like to see experts carve unbelievably elaborate pumpkins, take a ride out to beautiful Chadds Ford. Animal lovers might want to take in Boo at the Zoo. For city lovers, how about a trick or treating at Franklin Square? Looking for something on the Main Line? Ardmore hosts the Spooktacular. There are adult Halloween parties, too. If you’re really into the macabre, don’t miss the Mutter Museum party!
