5 Best Ways To Enjoy Halloween In Boston

1. Trick-or-Treating

The most Boston thing to do during Halloween is go trick-or-treating on Beacon Hill. The historic streets are a treat for everyone with their elaborate decor from Boston's toniest residents. Stroll around while enjoying the mayhem, and maybe pick up some candy!

2. Trolley Tour

Hear tales of the Boston Stranger, murders, and executions of the Boston Common, and the paranormal activities of the Omni Parker House at the 90-minute tour of Trolley of Terror. Walk through two of the oldest burial grounds in the city and visit the place known for the grave-robbing scandal.

3. Pumpkin Picking

Halloween can't be complete without a pumpkin. First thing first, find the perfect pumpkin to showcase your carving skills. Head straight to one of the farms near Boston and pick from a patch surrounded by farmland and maybe catch a hayride.

4. Salem

When history and horror buffs combine, it means that October has arrived, making Salem the busiest during the month. There's something extra spooky about being there in October and no one would want to miss the Haunted Happenings Market during the first, third, fourth, and fifth weekends in October.

5. Crypt At Old North Church

The historic Old North Church is creepier than it seems. The crypt below the Church offers frightening sight with 37 vaults containing around 1,100 bodies entombed from 1732 to 1860. Go on this dark and claustrophobic tour to light for Halloween vibes.
