Kid-Friendly Haunted House Alternatives

Haunted houses are one of the most popular Halloween activities. But not everyone is into the spooky stuff. Maybe you’re spending Halloween with younger kids, or maybe you just don’t like being scared. It’s totally okay! The great news is that there are plenty of other immersive experiences you can try this Halloween as alternatives to haunted houses.

These immersive and mystifying mazes are growing in popularity and are spreading around the country. Your mission is to escape from a labyrinth of mirror and LED lights. This is a truly immersive experience without the jump scares of a haunted house. Search and see if there is one near you!

Of course you knew we were going to say this. But it’s true! Escape rooms are a great alternative to haunted houses because they are suspenseful, challenging, and immersive. But many escape rooms, while suspenseful, aren’t scary.

That’s true of all of our rooms at Breakout. While some of our rooms have creepier elements, no rooms are designed to scare you. This makes them great for the whole family!

Fall festivals take place all across the country and offer festivities for every age to enjoy. They often feature face painting, hay rides, bouncy houses, carnival games, and yummy fall foods. Especially if you have young kids, these are a great activity to scout out and plan to attend.

Many local museums offer fall and Halloween events and activities. Museums for All can help you find a great museum near you.
