Boo! Don’t terrify your budget this Halloween, check out the following Halloween freebies and discounts certain to provide plenty of spooky fun and very little scary overspending.
Indoor Trick-Or-Treating
Cold and rainy where you live? No problem! Plenty of opportunities abound in your community to help your kids score candy without worrying about the weather. In the Indianapolis area, Safe Night Halloween at the Indiana State Fair grounds provides a great place for the kids to trick-or-treat on Halloween from 5 – 7 PM. Admission is free but parking is $5. You’ll also want to check out local nursing homes, the mall, and churches for events. If you live in the Indy area, I highly recommend checking out the calendar over at Indy with Kids for the best places to go!
