If you have a community-wide October Halloween or Fall Fest Drive-Trough Celebration that you’d like to publicize here, please email your Go Milpitas guide, Ann Zeise. Please leave the Milpitas address of your “haunted” yard or driveway or parking lot. Since such displays may be going up early, if you wish visitors over a range of dates, include those dates. If you have a time range when the display will be on, include that. Leave me your phone number or email address just incase I need to contact you with questions regarding your post.
This page will be linked in the Events Calendar in October, so people will be able to read and use this page and Google maps to locate your haunt. I will only show your address and not your name, unless you specifically write that you want me to spell it out.

Haunted Train
Oct 20 – 29, 2023, at Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont CA. Climb aboard the HAUNTED TRAIN for a spooky (not scary) ride through the haunted forest at Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont. This ride is designed especially for families with children under 12. Live actors supply the fun and you will encounter the famous Witch of Ardenwood and other characters. There are colorful Halloween displays in between the scenes. For 30 years we have been supplying Halloween fun for all ages, and nothing will jump out or frighten young children. The Haunted Train will operate the two weekends before Halloween: October 20, 21, 22; and October 27, 28, 29. Trains will run every 30 minutes between 7:00 pm and 9:30 pm on Friday and Saturday nights; and between 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm on Sunday nights. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Because the ride is at night, for safety reasons every child under the age of 4 must sit on an adult’s lap (which will also give them a better view). The ticket price is $18 for all ages 3 and up (ages 2 and under are free).
Tickets go on sale SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 at 8 AM.
