Haunted Houses & Halloween Events in Madison👻

The greater Madison area is home to some of the best haunted attractions and spine-tingling fun in Wisconsin. Test your nerve with local favorites like “Screamin’ Acres” in Stoughton or “Forsaken Souls” just outside of Edgerton. For family-friendly chills, don’t miss Trick or Treating at Schuster's Farm or “Boo! At the Zoo” at Henry Vilas Zoo, where little ghouls can trick-or-treat in a safe environment.

Tips for Halloween House Decorating🕸️

• Curb Appeal with a Twist: Use pumpkins, hay bales, and string lights to create a festive, inviting look. Avoid clutter to keep pathways clear for trick-or-treaters.
• Safety First: Ensure walkways are well-lit and free of tripping hazards. Battery-operated candles in jack-o’-lanterns are a safe alternative to real flames.
• Neighborhood Spirit: Coordinate with neighbors for a themed block or friendly decorating contest. It’s a great way to build community and show off your home’s charm.

Trick-or-Treating Tips🍬

• Plan Your Route: Stick to well-lit streets and neighborhoods you know. Many Madison communities post official trick-or-treat hours, so check local listings for details.
• Costume Safety: Opt for reflective tape or glow sticks so little ones are visible. Make sure costumes fit well to prevent trips and falls.
• Candy Check: Remind kids not to eat treats until they’re home and an adult has inspected them.
