Scacry Halloween Attractions in New England: Insider Tips

• Consider VIP or other “fast lane” passes. The extra expense could cut down the wait significantly.
• Be prepared to wait on busy nights, particularly Saturdays and days closest to Halloween.
• Find strength in numbers (and discounts); many venues offer rates for large groups.
• Dress appropriately; even indoor attractions might have a line that extends outdoors. And it's possible to have incidental contact with props or actors, so avoid whites and finer duds.
• Many venues require parental accompaniment, independent of age recommendations. Check each venue’s site before dropping your teens off!
