Halloween fun for the family

The living dead consume the streets of Denver!

BooTown may sound wicked scary, but it isn't. The 5,000 square foot Halloween maze is for the kiddos ages 2-10. After the maze, they are given a pumpkin to paint at one of the painting stations. See, you don't need to be scared with every Halloween-themed event.

Come one, come all to Trick or Treat Street at the Children's Museum! All your little ghosts and goblins are invited to come to one of the best Halloween festivals around.

The Butterfly Pavilion is too much fun on any given day, but during Halloween, their venture to OZ makes the festivities come to life...literally. They are having their annual Halloween exhibit fun for the whole family on October 25 & 26. Here are some of the activities to look forward to: A bounce castle, Douse the Witch, Flying Monkey toss, Glinda the Good Witch bubble factory, Kansas Tornado cash cube and cockroach races. Besides, nothing is scarier than spiders during Halloween.

$5 may not buy you much these days, but for Halloween at the Broomfield Event Center, it will get you loads of fun. Starting at 1 p.m., the whole family can enjoy hay rides, carnival games, hot apple cider, trick or suite, ice skating and the Rage game. At 5:30 p.m., they open the doors for spectators to come root on the Rage. Either way, your day will be packed with all that is offered at the Broomfield Great Pumpkin Festival.

Bring the whole family down to the delightful historic district of Downtown Littleton to enjoy some old fashioned trick or treating. Come fully costumed and go from business to business acquiring as much candy as possible.Look for the orange flyers in the windows of participating businesses
