Mineral Wells Area News has compiled a list of all the fun activities for Fall. Be mindful of the dates because many events take place prior to Halloween Night. We will update the list as more activities are shared with us. Have fun and be safe!!

Spooky Wells

Halloween Night you can Trick or Treat through downtown Mineral Wells from 5-7 pm for Spooky Wells, a free community event in historic downtown. This is a huge event you won’t want to miss.

It’s also not too late to participate as a vendor or an organization. Please contact Myndi Muncy at (940) 445-7794 or mmuncy@mineralwellstx.gov.

Halloween in the Hills

Texas ScareGrounds Haunted House

If getting “jump scared” is your thing, don’t miss the Texas Scaregrounds at Fort Walters. There are four haunted attractions.

Tickets are $35 for all four hauntings but if you bring 5 canned good items per person(which will be donated to the Center of Life food bank) the cost is $30.

If you want to skip to the front of the line, it will cost you $50 a person for a RIP pass. $75 will get you an unlimited pass for all night long.

Texas ScareGrounds is open 7pm to 12am every Friday and Saturday in October, as well as Oct. 30 and Halloween Night from 7-10pm.
