Looking for something spooky to do for Halloween that doesn’t involve actors screaming at you, chainsaws, and jump scares?  Then maybe you should consider going on a ghost tour!  These tours take you to haunted places and recount the stories of their haunting.  Below I have compiled a list of tours in and near the Lehigh Valley.  Please note, I have never had the pleasure of taking any of these tours myself, so these are NOT endorsements, just a list!  If you have taken any of these tours, feel free to review your experience in the comments!

Please also check out my list of non-scary corn mazes around the valley!

Happy Halloween!

I have compiled a list of corn mazes for myself and I thought I'd share them with you!
-The drive times are VERY approximate from the area of Dorney Park.
-The prices are for adult admission, some places charge less for children.
-Remember-bring CASH!  Most farms do NOT have credit card machines!  Bring extra if you think you might want to buy snacks or fall décor.
-Some places have hours on Columbus day as well-but I don't have off that day so I didn't list them.
-If you decide to visit a corn maze, remember to dress appropriately (sturdy shoes you dont mind getting muddy-it IS a farm!), wear sunscreen or bug spray if needed, and bring the right supplies with you!  (plenty of water, snacks, a flashlight if its close to dusk, a walking stick, emergency medications (inhaler, epi-pen)-there are better lists of what to bring around the internet)  Corn mazes are TONS of fun, but you should still be prepared-take what you would bring on a hike!  *NOTE-it can get VERY hot in a corn maze mid-day (especially in Sept!), so you may want to go in the late afternoon/evening if its warm and sunny!
-Some of the websites have coupons for discounted admission, so its worth looking around!
-If a maze has admission cost at or under $4, its probably mostly meant for kids...
