GLEN, N.H. — Happy Hauntings, New Hampshire’s Best New Way to Halloween, will take center stage at Story Land this fall. The Place Where Fantasy Lives will introduce its first-ever Halloween event opening one week earlier than anticipated on Saturday, September 28, marking the park’s longest season ever. Happy Hauntings closes out the park’s 70^th Celebration Season and will be a little Spookley and a whole lot of silly as the larger-than-life Spookley the Square Pumpkin makes his debut at Story Land.

Happy Hauntings extends the park’s season with two additional weekends and 10 new kid-friendly Halloween traditions including:

• Daniel Tiger Shows: it’s a grr-ific day for shows with Daniel and his friend Katerina Kittycat from the PBS KIDS show Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood every day in the Loopy Lab Theater;
• Halloween Hay Maze: a timeless fall tradition joins the Halloween lineup at Story Land as a hay maze pops up challenging guests to make their way through the interactive maze and onto their next fall-themed adventure;
• Cinderella’s Pumpkin Patch: visitors can pick their very own pumpkins and even have the opportunity to paint pumpkins and show them off to Cinderella herself when they visit her castle;
• Fairy Tale Trick-or-Treat Trail: everyone is invited to collect candy as they make their way through the park’s storybook area with delicious treats and beloved characters like The Old Woman in the Shoe, Little Red Riding Hood and more; and
• Exclusive Halloween Activities: each weekend will bring select activities to the park including a Halloween scavenger hunt, Halloween Bubble Bash, scream contests, scary-oke and a kid’s costume contest.

“Our first-ever Halloween event, Happy Hauntings will offer activities the whole family can enjoy,” said Chris Kearsing, General Manager. “New Hampshire’s Best New Way to Halloween is our final birthday gift to anyone visiting the White Mountains this fall, as they are invited to close out our longest season ever while making new family memories.”
