Halloween in the Upper West Side
Ready for a super spooky visit to the Upper West Side? Every year, dozens of New Yorkers spend big bucks transforming their homes into frightful and bizarre Halloween spectacles. People flock from all over NYC to witness the scary madness.
We’ll walk through the Upper West Side to check out the incredibly ornate Halloween decorations throughout October, culminating on the 31st. There may be no more beloved fall tradition than extraordinarily creepy house and yard decoration.
Halloween is probably the favorite holiday for kids in the U.S. On this three-hour jaw-dropping tour, you’ll learn the meaning of “trick-or-treat” and discover loads of fun Halloween traditions while traipsing through the streets. But be warned—zombies, ghosts, witches, monsters, and more creatures that go bump in the night will be there!
