Welcome to a special Halloween edition of Macaroni KID South St. Paul’s top things to do this week. With Halloween just days away, we are helping you catch all of the fun local events happening in South St. Paul - West St. Paul - Mendota Heights - Inver Grove Heights this weekend and through Halloween!

Click on the links for all the details!

  1. Nowhere Haunted House

Located on Robert St, this is a year-round establishment that also offers a full arcade, mini-golf, and escape rooms (watch for a full review in the coming weeks!). They also have one of the scariest and most impressive haunted houses I’ve ever seen - and I went through with the lights on, and without actors. This is a great attraction for older kids, teens, and adults. No detail has been overlooked, from special scents in various rooms (it literally spells like the ocean in a pirate ship area) to hand-painted scenery. And clowns. So many clowns! Definitely check it out if you’re looking for a spooky option this weekend! 


  1. Trunk or Treats
