Looking to enjoy the best of fall in Indy without spending a fortune? Same.

Indy Parks has something for everyone — from spooky Halloween fun to creative DIYs and nature escapes. Here are a few events we’re eyeing:

  1. Haunted Conservatory | October 22-23 | Enjoy family-friendly fun during “less haunted” hours or dare to visit after dark with spooky music and ghouls.
  2. Hauntless Halloween | Oct. 23-25 | Enjoy a magical candlelit hike with talking forest creatures, plus campfire treats and fun.
  3. Fall Harvest Festival | Oct. 27 | Celebrate with music, fall activities, and special guests from Family Time Entertainment.
  4. Not-So-Creepy-Crawly Halloween Party | Oct. 31 | Meet misunderstood critters, join animal-themed crafts, and explore an indoor trick-or-treat trail (costumes encouraged).
  5. Fall Harvest Wreath Workshop | Nov. 17 | Get crafty and create a festive fall-and-winter wreath to spruce up your seasonal décor.

Bonus: Don’t miss the adults-only Bob Ross painting night and costume competition on Oct. 25.
