Autumn is a special time of year in New England with the weather becoming more crisp and cool, the leaves putting on a spectacular foliage display and fun seasonal events to enjoy such as apple picking, pumpkin carving and Halloween activities!
Burlington has several fun events planned this year to keep your family and friends in the spooky spirit. Let’s explore some of the entertaining activities you may want to take part in.
Halloween House Burlington
Classified as “more fun, less fear and more WOW than a typical haunted house, Burlington’s Halloween House is a brand new, fully indoor Halloween attraction. Located at the Burlington Mall, 75 Middlesex Turnpike in Burlington, you will find a completely immersive, one-of-a-kind Halloween experience where you are transported to an all-Halloween world.
Every room of Halloween House is different and designed to give you an authentic Halloween experience rather than scare you or make you feel uncomfortable. Different themed rooms including Stranger Things and The Nightmare Before Christmas are designed to make every Halloween lover’s experience unforgettable.
This unique Halloween attraction is great for younger children and adults as well. There are no jump scares and no gore to frighten younger visitors. To purchase tickets or get more information about this special attraction visit https://halloweenhouseus.com/.
