Drive-Thru & Indoor Trick or Treating Options in Huntsville
BOOOOOO! The weather forecast is looking wet and rainy for Halloween this year, but chin up ghosts & goblins – we’re here to list our favorite indoor and drive-through opportunities for trick-or-treating so Halloween weekend is saved!
A little Halloween Pro-Tip: It’s always good form to come with a couple bags of candy to contribute to indoor ToT venues. Only some places require it, but ALL places will appreciate it. Plus, with more families looking for a dry place to have fun that night, the extra loot will always come in handy.
You can browse more Halloween events for kids in Huntsville on our Event Calendar! We’ll be updating rained out events there too.
