October 19, 2020 By Rosanne Dutzer Leave a Comment

In what has been a pretty scary year overall, 2020’s Halloween in Denver is shaping up to be a little different than what we’ve been accustomed to in years past. While some may choose to forgo the standard crowded haunted houses, trick-or-treating, or epic Halloween parties, there are still plenty of ways to celebrate this spooky holiday in the Denver area!

We’ve put together a guide to enjoying themed festivities for Halloween in Denver over the coming weeks!

Other Spooky Fun:

Haunted Houses:

For most, Halloween is about getting a little spooky. We couldn’t make a real guide to Halloween in Denver without mentioning a haunted house or two! Luckily, the Denver area knows how to get downright ghoulish. Iconic attractions like The 13th Floor Haunted House in Denver, The Reinke Brothers Haunted Mansion in Littleton, The Haunted Forest in Highlands Ranch, Fright Acres in Parker, and The Frightmare Compound in Westminster are all planned to be open this month with special COVID-safety precautions in place. Check their websites to learn more about their current policies and for info on how to purchase tickets!

Conquer a Corn Maze! 

If you want to do something fall-ish, but no necessarily Halloween, don’t miss Cottonwood Farm’s incredible corn maze! Visit the Fall Market for seasonal favorites like pumpkins, squash, and decorative fall items.

If you have little ones that aren’t ready for the big maze yet, escort them through their straw bale maze, go on a hay ride, or snag a pumpkin from the patch!

We love this time of year in Colorado, so we hope you found something from this festivity roundup that sounds pleasantly spooky for Halloween in Denver! Remember to stay safe out there this year, but above all, have fun!
