Celebrate Halloween in Texas
Even Halloween seems to take on bigger proportions in Texas. The state hosts the largest Halloween parade in the nation. In addition, it's home to the largest Halloween-themed park in the world. Top all of that with a sprinkling of creepy venues throughout the state, and you've got a spooky holiday line-up. Listed here are a few of the more notable ones.
If you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, there are a couple of events you may want to see. Dallas has the Scaregrounds, which includes three haunted houses. Fort Worth has a couple of its own: Cutting Edge Haunted House and Boo at the Zoo. Cutting Edge claims to be the largest haunted house in the country, and very frightening. Boo at the Zoo is completely the opposite. A lot of family-friendly fun, candy stations, and stage shows around the zoo.
In Austin, go see the Nightmare Factory or run downtown for the 6th Street Halloween. The Nightmare Factory is for the serious thrill-seeker, with maze-like walkways. It boasts the title of "Scariest Haunted House" in Texas. The 6th Street Halloween is a Mardi Gras-like event for residents who line up for blocks along the street dressed in costumes.
Also in the state is the family-style hosting of Six Flags over Texas in Arlington, Terror on the Bayou in Jefferson, and Nightmare on Grayson in San Antonio. All offer varying levels of thrill, so everyone from children to kids-at-heart can find something to do. Go get your fun on in Texas.
