The Wasatch Front is embracing the fall and spooky season, with numerous opportunities for residents to enjoy festive traditions, from discounted family entertainment to community-mapped Halloween displays. As the weather turns crisp and leaves change, locals have options to make the most of the season.
For indoor family entertainment and affordability, FatCats offers special deals, particularly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. FatCats locations feature Half-Price Wednesdays, making all activities $5. This includes bowling, arcade games, and glow golf where available, offering an affordable option for friends, families, or dates. On Tuesdays, all FatCats locations offer $5 movie tickets for the latest releases. Additionally, the special $5 pricing applies to the Horror Flashback Series, appealing to those looking to get into the spooky-season spirit. Patrons can also order food directly to their seats while watching films. Beyond the fall season, FatCats is also available for booking events like birthdays or holiday parties.
To help residents navigate local Halloween festivities, interactive digital maps are available, where residents contribute and plot neighborhood displays alongside commercial attractions throughout the Wasatch Front. These maps feature a range of resident-submitted locations, from animated light shows synchronized to radio frequencies to elaborate yard setups, local walk-through haunts, and pumpkin patches. The digital tools allow families to easily plan routes by sorting destinations by neighborhood, scare factor, and operating hours.
While fall leaves typically reach their prime in late September to early October, opportunities to catch the changing foliage remain. Residents can take a scenic drive through the Alpine Loop, Farmington Canyon, or Ogden Canyon to witness the vibrant colors.
For classic harvest season fun, several pumpkin patches are available from Weber to Utah County. These provide a traditional setting for families to enjoy the season. When looking for something a bit spookier than a pumpkin patch, haunted houses are an option, with Utah reportedly having various locations. For a fully immersive Halloween experience, seeing a live show is also suggested as a way to get into the holiday spirit.
These diverse options aim to ensure residents across Ogden, Weber County, and the broader Wasatch Front can create fall memories, whether through local entertainment, community-guided tours, or outdoor exploration.
