Family Fun

New England Halloween Happenings

Fall in New England is a special time of year.  Although I live in Connecticut, the states are so close that we can easily visit many wonderful events, and it’s an easy gas-tank away to  make it a day-trip for the family.

Over the years, we’ve visited the wonderful historical town of Salem, Massachusetts during it’s 300th Anniversary of the Salem Witch Trials,  during October, which was tremendously educational and entertaining.

I’d like to let you know about a family event that’s both enjoyable and taking place for a good cause.  Take the kids and invite the grandparents (yay!).

Mark your calendars!

The Boston Medical Center’s Halloween Town will be taking place this year on October 24 – 25 at the Seaport World Trade Center. The special guest is Dan Zanes.

While Dan Zanes takes the main stage, the rest of the Seaport World Trade Center will be transformed into a 70,000 square-foot haunted town for toddlers to 12 year olds.

Interactive games and kid friendly activities include:

• Interact with a “real” ghost

• Meet & Greets with favorite characters from movies, books and cartoons

• LazerTag

• Children can also listen to their favorite tales in the MonsterPiece   Theater

• iParty Birthday Lab

• Pepsi Monster Midway

• Haunted Mine

• Farmers Market

• The Swamp

All zones are “scare rated” providing fun for all ages.  Halloween Town is also packed with great entertainment including jugglers, dancers, and fabulous musicians. With over 15,000 guests last year and more than 120,000 pieces of candy given away it is sure to become this year’s highlight for all ages from toddlers to ‘tweens.
