Holidays! Parades, Fun Events, and Getaway Ideas for Holidays Through the Year

From Teresa Plowright, former About.com Guide

Halloween's become a full holiday season, through all of October, with countless fun events for families: Boos at Zoos, Haunted Houses, spooky fun staged everywhere from science museums to corn mazes.

Theme parks deserve special note: even if a theme park is closed during the fall months, it will open the gates for Halloween weekends. Disney has "not so scary" parties; Universal Studios gets seriously spooky; Legoland, Sesame Place, Hersheypark all have their themed fun.

Halloween Train Rides are another fun trend for families.
