Halloween is back and it is time to get spooky! Once only a holiday for children and candy, Halloween has morphed into a holiday that appeals to everyone. Who knew that adults like to dress up just as much as kids do?
Take the kids for some trick-or-treating and then line up the babysitter to give you a night out while you scream at the local Haunted Houses.
You can find many things to do for Halloween in Colorado Springs, and this guide will help you get started.
Churches and community centers are a great place to start especially if you have very young kids that get tired after a few houses. Trunk or treat, or Halloween parties allow families to have their fun in a small, safe environment. Here are some additional places you can start your Halloween fun.
