We always say that This is the Place Heritage Park is our favorite state park. We love all of the amazing events that they have, and we love the way they help bring the pioneer time period to life for our children. Little Haunts at This is the Place is a fun Halloween event for your family, especially young children. Enjoy the village AND extra Fall activities on your visit.
Little Haunts encourages everyone to wear their costumes. We came straight from soccer games, so we were dressed as a tired soccer family, but we were still allowed to participate even though we weren’t very festive. When we arrived, they handed us a bag to collect candy, but you can also bring your own trick or treat bag. As you move through the village, you can trick or treat the old pioneer homes that are open. Our boys were so excited for Halloween candy!
There are also different activities going on in certain locations. There were creature encounters going on where you could see snakes, lizards, and other creepy animals. Â We enjoyed seeing the different creatures. There were also spooky stories in the schoolhouse told by a witch!
Little Haunts is so fun because there are all of these extra Halloween activities, but This is the Place Heritage Park is still running all of the normal things that happen daily. You can ride the train, take tours of buildings, pan for gold, learn about the pioneers, ride a pony, take a wagon ride, pet the animals, and explore. There was so much to do that we didn’t get to everything done in one visit. But we had a wonderful time, and we are always excited to head back for another visit.
Little Haunts runs on certain days in October. Check This is the Place’s website for details on days and times. For other fun Halloween adventures in Utah, check out our list of 31 Family-Friendly Halloween activities.
