No one does Halloween like Dallas!
When our area puts its mind to it (so to speak), nowhere else can top the wonderfully inventive activities for kids. In almost no season is this more apparent than during Halloween. There are literally dozens of activities to choose from every weekend starting in late September and ending in late October.
Tons and Tons of Halloween Events and Alternatives!
Dallas is filled with fun ways to celebrate Halloween! KidsOutAndAbout has compiled this guide to help families enjoy the holiday to the fullest. Our ideas include places to Trick or Treat inside and outside in safe, public places, Halloween parties and celebrations, haunted tours and hayrides as well as a couple of Trunk or Treat events where kids can trick or treat out of the trunks of decorated vehicles! We also know that some families prefer to entertain their children on October 31st without including Halloween, so our Big List also includes a few Halloween Alternative celebrations in the Dallas area.
If we’ve missed an event, please send me an email so that we can add it to our list!
FUN HALLOWEEN ATTRACTIONS
Fun attractions are appropriate for all ages, except where noted — some fun attractions may also have scary components.

SCARY HALLOWEEN ATTRACTIONS
Scary attractions tend to be more appropriate for older elementary-age kids who like to be scared, and teens.
