In Queens, experience Halloween at “A Haunting in Hollis,” a residential home turned spooky experience. Decorated throughout, the home has a haunted house and escape rooms.

In the haunted house you’ll be chased through five floors, and if you get too scared you have two options. First, you can use the safety word “peanut butter” and call it quits. More interestingly, you use a laser gun and teach those ghouls a lesson! And did I mention the only way out is down a 20 foot slide?

But if you’re looking for the best things to do for Halloween in New York City with kids, A Haunting in Hollis also hosts a family friendly Halloween Lights event. All age-inappropriate props and decor are removed for the day and kiddos can enjoy one of the most joyous New York City Halloween events. You can expect to find friendly staff, arts & crafts and goodie bags filled with candy.
