Can you believe that Halloween is just a month away! I was walking into the store the other day and saw the Halloween costumes already out and I couldn’t believe how fast this year has gone by. There are so many fun events around the Greenville area to celebrate Halloween. There are events appropriate for children and ones a little bit more scary that might have you running away in fear!
A very popular event in Greenville is Boo in the Zoo. Not only do you get to have some fun at the zoo, but your littles ones can dress up and go trick-or-treating! This event will be taking place the weekend of the 19 through 21st as well as the 26th through the 28th. Fridays will be from 5:30 – 8:00 pm while Saturday and Sundays will be from 4:00 – 8:00pm. There is an admission fee, but is currently not listed on their website.
