On Saturday we took our family up to This Is The Place in Salt Lake City, Utah. They have fun Halloween family activities this time of year and we wanted to check it out. We had a WONDERFUL time with our kids! It was a beautiful atmosphere and was relaxing- no big crowds or long lines. Just what we needed! The kids had a blast at the candy cannon, touching reptiles, riding horses, exploring the little town, learning a little about Mormon settlers, eating delicious mini donuts, and mostly running from building to building collecting candy.

The Halloween days at This Is The Place is called -Little Haunts. It runs Oct. 13, 18-20 & 27. And as a few of my readers know, I LOVE Halloween, but some of my children do not.  Little Haunts is a “not so scary” kid friendly event for the entire family!  With the knowledge that they wouldn’t be freaked out by something (and donuts were involved) my kids were excited to go.

At each of the buildings the kids could read a some of the towns history and about people who once lived here then head inside the buildings for some trick or treating.

We explored old homes, a bank, a farm, an old blacksmith building, a school, hotel, and more!

You can even hop on a train for a little tour around the town.

If you tell the people at the ticket counter my name- Lynn Muir or Pocketful of Paint they will give you 2$ OFF each ticket.  Go explore!  You can click HERE to read more about how to get tickets and to get directions.
