It´s that spooky time of the year again. In the blink of an eye, we find ourselves searching for the best costume, the best pumpkin to carve, and getting ready for a sugar rush! Miami is no stranger to the best Halloween happenings! And here’s a small taste of what you can do this upcoming festivity:
• Haunted Circus Miami (Halloween Carnival) – The Tropical Park is morphed into a scary Haunted Circus during October. Get ready to feel goosebumps when you experience the puzzling disappearance of the ringmaster. But the fun doesn’t stop there, once you and your party have figured out the riddle, you will be presented with some goodies and circus treats. If you’re feeling crafty you can carve a pumpkin and show your artistic skills. Feeling curious about the future? The fortune teller will read the tarot cards for you. You can also pet a lovely animal in the petting zoo. We’re not ruining the fun and spoil the rest of the surprises. Intrigued? Check out the website HERE.
• Zoo Miami Zoo Boo – spend a great family fun day. Not everyone is keen of the gore and the scary. Thankfully, there are other ways to celebrate. This family-oriented event will also let you take advantage of the amazing weather during Miami’s autumn. The Zoo Miami’s Zoo Boo will take place during Halloween weekend. All kids are welcome to participate in costume contests and to trick-or-treat with the staff. There’s also a lot of crafty activities, but the real hook is to check out all the fantastic animals getting into the Halloween theme! There will be plenty of animals on display for the Halloween festivities, including African Elephants, bats, birds, hippos, and crocodiles. Watch the giant River Otters bob for pumpkins, raccoons in search of treats in the graveyard, while kangaroos and wombat explore (and destroy) the Halloween decorations. Sounds awesome, right? Check out the zoo’s website HERE for more info!
• Tinez Farms – Some folks are happy by just contemplating a perfect harvest, autumn scene and create fantastic seasonal photos. At Tinez Fams there’s an autumnal vignette with festive signs and a themed balloon arch ideal to take that photo you have in mind. There’s also a petting zoo with lots of adorable animals, play areas for the kids and weekend farmers’ markets selling organic produce, wares from local businesses and more.
