Halloween Discounts and Steals BEFORE October!

As soon as the weather cools and the smell of fireplaces can be smelt in the air,

my mind immediately goes to Halloween. October 1st may be too late to purchase your tickets, especially if you're looking for discounts or you don't want to run the risk of a fun event being sold out. I have been on the lookout for tons of fun halloween activities you're not going to want to miss!

Utah County + Halloween = Cornbelly's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Fest

Last year my husband and I didn't go to Cornbellys. We had a very small newborn at the time and I was worried she would get too cold. We don't regret the decision of not taking our tiny 3 month old there.. However, we did feel an emptiness throughout the Fall season since we weren't able to go. I'm so excited to take my daughter there this year. She is going to absolutely love running around and playing with other kids. I seriously just purchased half a dozen tickets AND because I ordered my tickets BEFORE September 28th I was able to use Coupon Code: EXPO** to receive $4 off of each ticket! Savings of $24 and I won't have to wait in line since an eticket was emailed straight to my smart phone. Win-Win! If you'd like to purchase tickets or see more information, click here.

**UPDATE! Until Oct. 31st use Coupon Code: VALPAK1 to get $3 off Laughin' or Lovin' admission or 
Coupon Code: VALPAK2 for $4 off Screamin admission. 

Pumpkin Patch Train 

If you think you may be near Heber Valley sometime this October, be sure to purchase a kid friendly train ride to a secret pumpkin patch. Admission is $15 but children under 3 are free. The Admission includes a beautiful 40 minute train ride through a colorful forest, a pumpkin cookie, a cup of apple cider and a pumpkin. There is even more fun at the depot where kids can decorate their pumpkin, get their face painted, a hay maze and haunted train for those with older children. Tickets are running out fast with some dates and times already completely sold out! Hurry to snag your preferred date and time. Click here, for more information.

Sleep Hallow Haunted Wagon Ride

Reservations are required at this Heber Valley favorite. Starting October 9th, hear the tale of Ichabod Crane while riding through a haunted forest. Look out for the headless horsemen-- you just might see him! Rides leave every 15 minutes and the ride is approximately 25 minutes long. The later you go, the less kid friendly it is so if you want to bring a little one I'd recommend going before 6:00, if you are going on a date with your sweetheart I'd recommend going after 7:30 (private wagons are also available for a fee if you are interested). Again, children under 3 are free. Right now through KSL you can purchase your tickets at a discounted rate of $20/person (normally $25) while they last click here for the link! Sign up for their emails to receive an extra 10% off of that ticket price. Another Win-Win.

SLC Monster Block Party - FREE!

A Wizarding Halloween Spooktacular

Recommended for children 8+. Celebrate the Utah Symphony's 75th anniversary by attending this spooktacular event by listening to a beautiful performance of Harry Potter's incredible soundtrack along with other boo-tiful songs. The performance is on Tuesday, October 27th at 7 PM and is expected to be 2 hours long (including intermission). Costumes are encouraged for the whole family. Go all out as you may be one of the select few to win a costume contest! Tickets go from $8-16 and they are going fast so get to the site as fast as your broom will take you! 

Don't wait too long to purchase tickets for any of these spooktacular events. They might sell out on you... and that would be truly SCARY! If you happen to find yourself at any of these events tag me on instagram @xoxorachelleblog or on FB. I'd love to see all of your great costumes!
