When traveling around the Branson area during the Halloween season, there are plenty of options for a safe, indoor trick or treating experience. One of the best is the Halloween Safe Trick or Treat at the Battlefield Mall. Each year on Halloween night, the mall opens up its doors to all trick or treaters and their families to spend the evening wandering the various shops to receive candy and set up activities for the youngsters. Rainy weather may threaten your outside trick or treating experience, but with the Halloween Safe Trick or Treat at the Battlefield Mall, you can stay out of the cold and elements while your children enjoy their Halloween night.  

If trick or treating isn’t exactly what you’re looking for in Halloween fun, enjoy other Branson attractions like the Haunted House! With realistic animatronics (or are they?) and state of the art effects set up to scare the wits out of you, this Haunted House is sure to pack in the excitement for your Halloween night. Make your way down darkened hallways and walk through dusty, dark rooms to discover that there is more than meets the eye at this house. Enter at your own risk!

 Smaller children might not find the Haunted House to their liking, so there are other options that are perfect for those little ones in your family. Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum provides an odd and unusual experience that will both amaze and mystify you. The smaller children will enjoy the optical illusions and larger than life exhibits. If you’ve always wanted to learn more about nature’s oddities, a trip to the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum is the perfect way to satisfy your curious side.
