Hallowe'en in Greenfield Village: Tickets on sale soon - how to get yours

DEARBORN, Mich. (FOX 2) - Spooky season is nearly here! The leaves are just starting to turn, pumpkin spice lattes are now available at Starbucks, and Greenfield Village is prepping for Hallowe'en.

If you've never experienced Hallowe'en at Greenfield Village, allow us to set the stage for you: Jack-o'-lanterns line the sidewalks as you traverse through the historic grounds. There's the Halloween Express train ride, singing pumpkins, ghost baseball, and you do not want to miss the Headless Horseman. This is only just a taste of what to expect – lest we forget the 50 costumed characters roaming about, or the Grim Reaper greeting you upon entrance, and, of course, the fall treats and drinks!

We're officially ready for Halloween after thinking about all the fun at Greenfield Village.

When is Hallowe'en in Greenfield Village?

The transformation of Greenfield Village is already underway but it won't be ready for fall visitors until Oct. 3.

Every Thursday through Sunday in October, the village will feature a fall theme, with ghostly performances and markets. In the daytime, it is family-friendly, but when the sun sets, a frightful theme takes over.

This year's dates: October 3-6, 10-13, 17-20, 24-27

The gates open as early as 4 p.m. for those with young kids and close at 9:30 for those who want a little more of a thrill.
