With new monsters that are both bigger and louder, Netherworld Haunted House ensures you and your friends have a scary but adrenaline-boosting time. This attraction is not for the faint of heart, but is perfect for those who enjoy immersive experiences!
Stone Mountain’s Pumpkin Festival
Stone Mountain Park provides a family-friendly fall festival with shows, pie eating contests and fall decorations that are perfect for photos. Not only are there fall and halloween additions to the park, but there are also classic activities. Some are the skyride, which gives families an awing view of the mountain, and the scenic railroad. There are many daytime attractions, and for the nighttime, there are glow in the dark lights and pumpkin drone shows, further elevated by a beautiful view from the peak of Stone Mountain. You can enjoy various seasonal food and drink options from different food trucks, vendors and dining spots around the park.
Nightmare’s Gate Haunted House
Known for its terrifying haunts, Nightmare’s Gate Haunted House is located just outside of Atlanta in Douglasville, Georgia. However, its three different Haunted Houses in one location make it special. This year, the three are Apokalipto, Delusional Descent and Longview Estate. Each features a different setting, ranging from a haunted ancient Aztec temple, erratic dreams or even an abandoned mansion. Pick the one that best suits your preferences, or better yet, all three!
