During the week of October 31, there will be numerous events around Louisville to celebrate Halloween, including haunted houses, trick-or-treating, concerts and more. Here is a list of things to do Tuesday.
Jack O’ Lantern Spectacular:
The annual Jack O’Lantern Spectacular, which will continue to be in Iroquois Park until November 5, features over 5,000 carved and illuminated pumpkins that light a 1,500-foot walking trail, many in themed scenes, along with live music.
The gates open at 7:15 p.m. On Sunday through Thursday, they close at 11 p.m., and on Fridays and Saturdays, they close at midnight.
Breakout Games Louisville
The Breakout Games include real-life adventures where players are placed in a scenario and have exactly one hour to break out of the room by solving numerous puzzles and riddles. There are two escape games that are especially suited for Halloween: Mystery Mansion and The Kidnapping.
In Mystery Mansion, team members work to discover the secrets of an abandoned old mansion that may have a mysterious entity living there.
In The Kidnapping, staff will handcuff and blindfold team members. The team then has 60 minutes to free themselves before the kidnapper returns.
Each game is $24.99 per person, but a promotional code on the website gives the purchaser a 10 percent discount at checkout until Halloween.
Hillcrest Avenue
Hillcrest residents decorate their homes with grand displays every October. Because of this, thousands of children trick-or-treat here each Halloween, and thousands more go to the street throughout the month of October just too see Hillcrest Avenue’s Halloween decorations.
