Whether your idea of Halloween fun is being chased through the woods by a serial killer with a chainsaw, or taking a zombie-less hayride to the pumpkin patch, there is something this fall in the Charlotte area that will meet your needs. I’ve divided this list into “Scary,” “Not Scary,” and “Both Scary and Not Scary Activities.” I’m not making any judgment about whether the event really is scary or not. I’m just reporting how the attraction bills itself. This list will be updated as the season progresses. If a farm doesn’t have a website with a current list of activities, prices, and operational hours, a representative from the farm needs to contact me with the information and I’ll add it. cheapskate@charlotteonthecheap.com Please follow the links to get the dates, times and prices. Also, if you haven’t done this, make sure to subscribe to Charlotte on the Cheap by email so you’ll know about all the cheap happenings all year long.
Want to have your fall attraction get extra attention here or on the list of Fall Festivals and Halloween Parties? Just email ads@charlotteonthecheap.com.
