5 Halloween-Style Things to Do This Weekend in the Capital Region

You're already halfway through October so it's time to get in the Halloween mood! Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Well, there's a TON of options in the Capital Region. Here's 5 I picked, from my own experience, and from the amazing calendar of events at Albany.com!

1
Field of Horrors
Head to the 'Field of Horrors' in Troy! I went for 'Sneak Peak' weekend and had an absolute blast. With four different haunted houses and a scary ride, it was totally worth it. Honestly, I would go again. It was like a hometown 'Lost Boys' vibe meets legit haunted houses. Get more info here!

Double M Haunted Hayride
You can never go wrong getting in the Halloween mood with a haunted hayride, through woods on a tractor drawn wagon. This one happens to be in Ballston Spa. Get more info here!

Ghosts of Albany Walking Tour
If you're not a hayride person, you don't like gore or fake blood, go for a haunted tour! Albany has so much history, with ghost stories and spook factor included. So maybe avoid the fake blood and get yourself scared with a good ghost story and some sight-seeing. Get more info here!

Haunted Saratoga Ghost Tours
Up north instead of in downtown Albany? No worries! There's a ghost tour for you too! Check out the Haunted Saratoga Ghost Tours. It's a 90 minute walking tour all about Saratoga and the spirits that haunt it. In an area with a ton of history like Saratoga, I don't doubt they exist. Get more info here!
5
Zombie Zip Line
Adrenaline junkie?! No worries- there's a Halloween activity for you too! The Zombie Zip Line! Hosted by Mountain Ridge Adventure in Schenectady, you'll be guided by corpses into the woods and get to Zip Line your way to an adrenaline rush. Get more info here!
