Family-Friendly Halloween
Activities in Minnesota

Fall Fun Fest is all about getting into the Halloween spirit without the spine-chilling scares. Our carefully crafted activities ensure a laidback weekend where families and friends can bond. We offer low-scare Halloween attractions, perfect for young ones to enjoy the season’s magic without fear.

Family-Friendly Fun!

Halloween doesn’t always have to be about a spine-chilling experience (one that you’d be tempted to keep coming back to every year). We have organized Fall Fun Fest which is a variety of family-friendly Halloween events in the Twin Cities area.

If you are looking to dip your feet into something a little less scary and more playful, we have low-scare Halloween attractions that are perfect for kids.

Get into the Halloween spirit without getting scared. Fall Fun Fest activities are perfect for a laidback weekend with your family and friends.
