Gather your family and head to the Gaylord Texan Goblins and Giggles weekend event. This new family Halloween event occurs during the September and October weekends (September 11 through October 31, 2020).

Autumn at the Arboretum highlights the 15th year of the nationally-acclaimed Pumpkin Village, sponsored by Oncor, featuring four 20-foot-tall decorated pumpkin houses and creative displays fashioned from more than 90,000 pumpkins, gourds, and squash. Held at the Dallas Arboretum, the favorite fall festival opens on September 19 and runs through November 1.

From September 26th through November 25th, Pumpkin Farm will offer visitors a chance to experience blossoming small green pumpkins right on the vine in the pumpkin patch, hayrides, a 6-foot hay maze, and a petting farm for a taste of the country life.

The Big Tex Fair Food Drive-Thru is a progressive Fair food experience on the grounds of the great State Fair of Texas. Visitors can drive through the grounds, which are decked out in State Fair style, picking up Fair food favorites along the way. At Big Tex Circle, visitors will park and exit their cars to have their annual pictures taken by a professional photographer. The experience will then continue with a drive along to Lagoon to pick up some of the sweeter offerings and have a bit of Midway fun! The entire experience should take approximately one to one and a half hours. Guests can bring a picnic set up and stop to eat in one of the fairground parking lots.

A no contact, family-friendly Halloween event, situated in Downtown Dallas at the American Airlines Center Silver parking garage. Your family can enjoy a safe, contact-free spooky good time from the comfort of your own car. Give your kids a Halloween to remember, from circus thrills to Halloween icons.

The characters inside won’t touch your vehicle but be careful, thrilling good times lurk around every corner. Your kids can enjoy this event rain or shine. For those seeking a more traditional haunted house vibe, a VIP upgrade will give you access to the “top floor”, the less kid-friendly post-apocalyptic chaos, where the scares are a bit more intense.

With social distancing in place, families can bring blankets, sit back and enjoy an afternoon of zaniness from the dynamic clown duo Slappy and Monday and their endearing circus friends.
