Take your costumed kids to Flint during October to catch Crossroads Village’s Halloween drive-thru. Per the event page, the drive-thru is open from 5-9 p.m. on the following weekends (Oct. 3-4, 10-11, 17-18, 24-25, 31) and weekdays (Oct. 9, 16, 23, 28-30). The admission price is $20 per vehicle and cash is preferred (though, credit card is accepted).
There’s no pre-registration, so be prepared for potentially long wait times before you car can enter the drive-thru route. But the 30-minute long drive through Halloween displays and complimentary treat bags will be well worth the wait.
Terror at Tee Lake drive-thru event in Lewiston is another fun way to ring in Halloween this fall in Michigan. According to Funtober.com, the drive-thru is open on select nights from Oct. 1-31 from 7-10 p.m. (Though, it’s best to call the venue ahead of time to verify if there are any restricted hours, due to COVID-19 restrictions.)
