Hersheypark

Hersheypark in the Dark

Hersheypark

You say you want to go trick-or-treating? Where better than at Hersheypark in Hershey, PA? Kids 12 and under can start gathering sweets at Hershey's Chocolate World and continue into Treatville. Fifty rides, including 10 roller coasters, remain open after dark and Creatures of the Night lets visitors get up close and personal with owls, snakes, turtles and alligators.

Best scare: Tarantulas at Creatures of the Night. Because they're tarantulas.

Sesame Place

The Count's Halloween Spooktacular

Sesame Place

No bloody actors, no strobe-lit haunted houses, no eerie cornfields. This one's all about the kids. Sesame Place, in Langhorne, PA, has been transformed into a Halloween celebration with 2 mazes, 3 shows, a character hayride and a new dance throwdown: Ernie's Rubber Duckie Costume Party.

Best scare: Frights are few and far between here, but Bert in a pigeon costume will get anyone under 45 smiling.
