Is your city trick-or-treat friendly?

Zillow.com has ranked the top 20 cities to trick or treat this Halloween. From their blog;

Now in its third year, the Zillow Trick-or-Treat Index is designed to help kids (and parents) use data to identify cities that will boost their Halloween haul.

How are they ranked?

Zillow uses their home value index, “walkability” rating of the city, people per square mile and the rate of violent and nonviolent crime.

All of that adds up to the most candy with the safest and least walking.

A great way to celebrate the otherwise spine-chilling festival of Halloween if you do not really fancy gory sights and blood stained apparel is to choose to get some pumpkin picking and pumpkin carvings activities. For a change you may want to try having some pumpkin picking fun with your kids this Halloween rather than attend that nightmarish club party that leaves you sleepless for night later. Here are some options that you have in Phoenix for a great pumpkin Halloween.

Halloween Events in Phoenix Papago Park

A great pumpkin patch where all children under the age of 12 get to pick their own free pumpkin during festival time. Huge hay bales and mazes adorn the area as do barn animals and petting places. The best place to visit this park is between October 21 and October 24, this year.

Halloween Events in Phoenix MacDonald’s Ranch Pumpkin Patch

While this pumpkin patch has its share of the regular petting animals, hay mazes and pumpkins, it also has sack racing, gem mining and horseshoe pits. Children can get on to a pony or a horse and go around picking the pumpkin that they want. If your children are fond of eating what mum cooks up, you can bring in your own picnic basket or packed lunch.

Halloween Events in Phoenix Schnepf Farms Pumpkin and Chili Party

For more than just a animal farm with hay rides and mazes and petting, choose Schnepf Farms that will have your children begging for more after a ride. Check out the carousel rides, Hillbilly Bob’s Pig Races, Witch Mountain giant slide, Rock climbing wall and bonfires and marshmallow roasting.

Halloween Events in Phoenix Tolmachoff Farms

A farm that spans 6 acre, the place is full of family corn maze. This Halloween there is a scarecrow theme that you will need to carry out the hunt in the haunted corn maze.

Halloween Events in Phoenix Great Arizona Puppet Theater

Once you have had enough of the pumpkin patch you can move towards the puppet show in the evening. The puppet show is titled ‘Little Bunny’s Halloween’ and is most appropriate for children in the age group between 2 and 10 years. A good show to take your children to so that they can learn more about the significance of Halloween and also the various activities that are conducted during this time of year.

Halloween Events in Phoenix Boo at the Zoo

The zoo in Phoenix organizes an event just for the kids. There are games, educational instructions about recycling and being ‘green’, albeit with the help of a worm bin. Some special Halloween exhibits include eerie spiders, screechy owls and slithery snakes. Expect this event to take place on the last weekend before Halloween every year.

Some of the other pumpkin patch options that you have include Brooke’s Pumpkin Patch at Mother Nature’s Farm, Tolmachoff Farms, Agua Linda Farm, Apple Annie’s Produce & Pumpkins and Freeman Farms Pumpkin Festival. So if you want a clean and less horrifying Halloween, this is your best bet. If your children insist on something nerve chilling, make sure that you choose a haunted house or park that is age appropriate.
