A fall staple for locals. Grab a pumpkin, take a tractor ride, or wander the corn maze. It’s a solid day trip for families looking to keep things light on the spooky and heavy on the cozy.
Tip: Go early in the day — weekends get packed.

The “Werewolves of Whitefish” haunted hayride is a newer tradition that’s already become a favorite. Expect some jump scares, themed entertainment, and great local food vendors.
Note: Not ideal for little kids — this one’s genuinely spooky.
Tickets: Clydesdale Outpost

For something with real history behind the haunt, check out the candle-lit ghost tours at the Conrad Mansion. They mix storytelling, local legends, and eerie atmosphere in one of Kalispell’s most iconic spots.

Sometimes the best Halloween plan is no plan at all. The Flathead Valley in late October is unbeatable — golden larches, crisp air, and mountain views that make any drive special. Take a trip around Flathead Lake, head toward Whitefish, or just cruise the backroads with a thermos of cider.

Whatever your Halloween looks like — trunk-or-treating with the family, haunted mazes, or scenic fall drives — make sure you’re getting there safely and in comfort. At Kalispell Volkswagen, we’re proud to support community events like the Trunk-or-Treat Halloween Carnival and help Montanans enjoy every season behind the wheel.
