Halloween with kids in Denver

One real Halloween option sits on the GetOut Colorado listings, with a catch. GetOut lists Elitch Gardens (Denver, CO) with One (1) General Admission, 1x Yearly, valid on any open day through the 2026 season. But it is a Plus add-on, so it is not in the standard Colorado pass. GetOut's own venue description mentions Fright Fest.

Elitch Gardens' Fright Fest page says Fright Fest runs on select dates from September 26 to November 1, 2026. It also says Fright Fest park admission is included with a Season Pass or Single Day Ticket unless otherwise stated, and that haunted houses cost extra. Neither GetOut nor Elitch says whether the GetOut admission counts as a single day ticket on Fright Fest dates, so confirm in the GetOut app before you plan a Fright Fest visit around it. Elitch also says its children's attractions close at 6:00 PM on Fright Fest days and that Fright By Night is not recommended for children.

Planning an escape room for Halloween? The HD Escape Rooms listing names Halloween as a blackout date. Otherwise, the Colorado listings near Denver include no pumpkin patches or fall festivals as of October 8, 2026.

For costumes, candy and party extras, see kids Halloween party freebies, Halloween costumes under $30, Halloween candy and snack deals and Halloween deals.
