Whether you're simply looking for a day of family fun, or you are trying to squeeze in one last haunted attraction before the end of the Halloween season, there is still plenty of time to squeeze in some last minute Halloween fun before November kicks into full gear. This weekend, we also turn back the clocks, so there's an extra hour to get out there, and have some fun - rain or shine!
