Family Halloween Events in Indianapolis (Map + Calendar)

This family-friendly (no blood or gore) half-hour excursion is great for ghosts and goblins of all ages. As the train travels through the dark countryside, passengers will be haunted by characters from their ghost story. 

Pack your bags and get ready to head out on a Witch Way Road Trip, a cross-country journey along Route 60. But with so many bumps in the road, will you make it to your final destination, Boneyard Beach? If your kiddo likes a little fright, check out the Frightening Hours.

Head over to Garfield Park Conservatory for a ghoulish good time at their Halloween celebration.
