Your Guide to Halloween Fun in Southern Utah





The leaves are starting to fall and there’s a crisp chill in the air — which means it’s officially October in Southern Utah Halloween has arrived, bringing a season packed with events, family outings, cozy treats, and spooky thrill-seeking around town. Whether you’re into pumpkins, ghost stories, or just soaking up the autumn atmosphere, Halloween is in full swing in St. George


 Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes &amp; Farm Fun


If you’re looking for the heart of fall festivities, Staheli Family Farm is the go-to Halloween destination in Southern Utah. Now celebrating its 24th season, the farm is filled with activities for every age, from the pumpkin patch and classic corn maze to the famous Field of Screams, a haunted maze full of jump-scares, spooky characters, and eerie surprises for thrill-seekers.. Kids will love the Farmland Games, corn slide, petting zoo, duck races, pony rides, and even axe throwing. And of course, no fall adventure is complete without warm treats and cozy concessions. Catch a witch character meet-and-greet, ride the cow train, or settle around a firepit and tell ghost stories to end the night. Whether you want family-friendly festivities or spine-tingling scares, Staheli Family Farm delivers the full autumn experience in St. George.


If you’re searching for something a bit more peaceful and picture-perfect, head north to the Judd Pumpkin Patch. Stroll through over 2 acres of pumpkins in every shape and size and pick your favorite right from the field. The hay bales, farm setting, and golden fall colors make the cutest photo backdrop. It’s a laid-back, family-owned farm with wagon rides, a petting zoo, and homemade baked treats, including the fresh cinnamon rolls. It’s open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 7 PM and is about an hour north of St. George, making it the perfect fall drive.


For some family-friendly Halloween ambiance close to town, visit the Scarecrow Walk and Haunted Canyon at Red Hills Desert Garden. Wander through the gardens to see creative, themed scarecrows designed by local individuals and businesses, then continue into the slot canyon decorated with spooky touches like witches, skeletons, glowing lights, and eerie sound effects. The atmosphere is spooky but not too scary so it’s perfect for kids, families, photo ops, and anyone who wants a little festive fun without the jump-scares. And best of all? It’s free.


 Ghost Tours &amp; Spooky Adventures


If you’re looking for a spooky adventure this season, St. George has plenty of options for every scare level. For a small encounter with the paranormal, St. George Ghost Tours offers a memorable guided walk through downtown’s haunted history. You’ll hear eerie tales, local legends, and chilling stories tied to real locations. It’s spooky in a fun, story-driven way and perfect for families, teens, date nights, or anyone who loves fall evenings under the stars.


Prefer daytime exploring? Try the Enepitsi “Ghost” Trail, where scenic river views and ancient petroglyphs blend with stories of spirits tied to the land. Another great stop is Silver Reef Ghost Town, where old mining ruins and desert landscapes create a quiet, atmospheric adventure that feels a bit mysterious.


For something more interactive, gather friends and try an escape room at Escapism or St. George Escape Rooms. Their themed experiences range from Western bank heists to alien spaceship mysteries. They’re high-energy, team-based adventures that lean more on puzzles and creativity than the spooks


Whether your vibe is spooky, curious, or just playful, there’s a ghostly adventure waiting for you in St. George this fall.


Trick-or-Treating &amp; Community Events


If your Halloween isn’t complete without costumes and candy, local trick-or-treat events are ready to make the holiday extra festive.

On Halloween day, stop by Malloween at Red Cliffs Mall from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Kids can trick-or-treat inside the mall, making it a warm, easy, and family-friendly celebration.


Then head to The Shoppes at Zion from 5:00 to 7:00 PM on October 31st for more candy, costume contests, and prizes. It’s lively, welcoming, and full of Halloween excitement.


Whether your costume is spooky, sparkly, or silly — this is the perfect time to show it off.

Pair a slice with one of their comforting soups or sandwiches for the coziest fall lunch.
