So much for trick or treating...
...here's three deals that will reignite that love for Halloween!
1. Six Flags New England Fright Fest, Springfield, Mass.
Little Cameron and Madison won't be complaining about a trip to 6 Flags this weekend. It's the last weekend to experience the scary Fright Fest! The park transforms for Halloween offering scary shows, trick or treating and fun for all ages. Enjoy accommodations at the Hilton Garden Inn and breakfast for two with rates as low as $45 per person. This package includes a 1-Day Adult ticket admission at only $27 and a Parking pass for $13. Six Flag’s is sure to be a ghoulishly good time!
2. Great Pumpkin Getaway, Mystic, Ct.
A trip to Mystic is fun enough, but this package deal is worth taking a peek at. Receive a $30 gift card to Scott’s Yankee Farmer and head into their orchards to pick your own peaches, apples, and pumpkins. Harvest pickings in tow, you can then head over to B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill for some cider or apple wine from the oldest steam powered cider mill in the United States. This Fall Getaway package includes one night at the Comfort Inn Mystic with breakfast daily and includes a $30 gas card [doesn't get you as excited now that gas has dropped below $3 a gallon, huh?]. Packages begin at $76 per night.
and 3. Experience the Bewitched Salem, Mass.
If you are a AAA member and want to visit America's foremost expert city on all witch lore, then visit Salem this weekend. Package includes a stay at the charming and historic Hawthorne Hotel, two passes to the Peabody Essex Museum, two-for-one dinner at Nathaniel’s restaurant, and full breakfast for two. All this from $60 per person.
