Goblins, ghouls, and ghosts – oh my! October in Indianapolis is packed with ways to celebrate the season. Kick off the Halloween season with these Indy traditions:

Booseum: The Children’s Museum offers scary and not-so-scary times so kids of all ages can soak in the festivities.
Headless Horseman: That sound you hear in the distance is calling you to Conner Prairie for this haunted tradition.
Harvest Nights: Immerse yourself in pumpkins and spooks while touring the manicured grounds at Newfields.
