Jellystone Park locations are famous for their Halloween theme weekends and the good news for kids of all ages is that the Halloween fun and games will continue this year with adjustments made to align with social distancing and sanitation best practices.
“Our franchisees have adjusted their activity plans so they can still offer as many of their traditional Halloween activities as possible,” said Trent Hershenson, vice president of marketing for Leisure Systems, Inc., which franchises more than 75 Jellystone Park locations across North America.
While activities vary at each individual Jellystone Park location, most parks offer a variety of Halloween activities ranging from costume and campsite decorating contests to Halloween-theme crafts. Some locations even offer haunted trails or haunted pavilions. Here is a sampling of the upcoming Halloween activities at Jellystone Park locations across the country:
