Reno Tahoe is transforming into a spooky wonderland this Halloween, offering a wide range of thrilling events, from costume-filled bar crawls to terrifying haunted attractions. Known for its unique mix of eerie fun and family-friendly activities, the region has something to offer for visitors of all ages.
One of the biggest highlights of the season is the Reno Zombie Crawl, named one of the 10 Best Costumed Halloween Parties in the nation by USA Today. Drawing more than 15,000 participants each year, this event is one of the largest bar crawls in the world. Taking place in Downtown Reno, the crawl features over 40 bars, 150+ drink specials, and a variety of entertainment options, including karaoke and dance parties. Participants, dressed as zombies, take over the city for a night of wild Halloween-themed fun.
For those seeking a more spine-chilling adventure, the Corn Creepers Cornfield at Andelin Family Farm in Sparks offers a haunting journey through vast cornfields filled with lurking zombies. Visitors can also test their navigation skills in the farm's 5-acre corn maze or try zombie paintball. For a less terrifying experience, families can enjoy traditional fall activities like pumpkin picking.
Thrill-seekers can head to the Dark Corner Haunted House at the National Bowling Stadium, where the venue has been transformed into a massive haunted house. With over 32,000 square feet of scares, the haunted house is divided into multiple sections, each offering a unique terror—from plague-infested zones to creepy cults and freakish characters.
Families looking for more traditional Halloween fun can visit some of Reno’s iconic spots for trick-or-treating on Halloween night. Popular destinations include the Governor’s Mansion, the Discovery Museum, and the National Automobile Museum, where kids can collect candy and experience Halloween in a more relaxed setting.
Whether you’re seeking spine-tingling thrills or a fun family day, Reno Tahoe’s Halloween festivities promise an unforgettable experience for all visitors this spooky season.
