Halloween Activities Coming up, and More!

Things are getting exciting now, as Halloween is approaching! It may feel confusing to know what to do with your kids to celebrate, but here are just a few extra suggestions…

Halloween Harvest at Luna Park of Coney Island

“For those of us ready to celebrate fall the way it’s meant to be celebrated, Luna Park (http://lunaparknyc.com/) ’s Halloween Harvest festival happens every weekend until November 1. The family-friendly festival features face painting, pumpkin picking, magic shows, balloon artists, and more. This year, Halloween Harvest (http://lunaparknyc.com/events/halloween-harvest/)  is bigger and better than ever. Luna Park has expanded the fun into the Scream Zone section of the park where guests can pick and paint a pumpkin at Grandma’s Hay Maze and Pumpkin Patch, which is just steps away from the newest addition to the fall fun, Kooky Spooky Karaoke. Luna Park—which opens at noon every Saturday and Sunday—will be decked out in its autumn finery. The legendary amusement park is located right off Coney Island’s iconic boardwalk, and you don’t have to pay an entry fee to get in. Just jump on the D/F or N/Q trains.”

Harvest Festival and Pumpkin Patch

According to Time Out Magazine, “At this seasonal event, families can listen to music, go on nature walks through the garden, meet furry friends in the petting zoo, ride ponies, and get in on composting demos. Round up the gang and enjoy live musical performances and crafts, then take a break to nosh on treats (including beer for Mom and Dad). They can also, of course, peruse the pumpkin patch for the perfect Halloween crop. All ages.”
