2011 List of Halloween events in Orange County

Here is a 2011 list of Halloween events in Orange County and surrounding areas. Be sure to visit our sister site, LAGreatDeals.com, for a complete list of all 2011 Halloween Haunted Houses and Mazes in Los Angeles and surrounding counties.

Seems every year Halloween events are more and more popular. Although we still get kids on Halloween trick or treating at our doors, what older kids and teens look forward to are the haunted houses and mazes that so many amusement parks create.

So below I’ve created a list of places having Halloween haunted houses or mazes. Some are free others charge a fee (if coupons are available I’ve included them, see links).

2011 Halloween Haunted Houses and Mazes in Orange County:

• Knott’s Scary Farm Halloween Haunt. This is the popular one of all the Halloween attractions with several scare zones, shows and multiple mazes. Teens and young adults especially look forward to this event every year. For discount coupons see a post or LAGreatDeals.com sister site posted on Knott’s Scary Farm Halloween Haunt coupons.
• Disneyland – Halloween Time. Every Halloween season we love how Disney transforms a few rides into “haunted” rides, this year is no different. But one of the best parts and that kids look forward too is the special Mickey’s Halloween Party at night. Kids dress up along with their parents and participate a night full of special treats. Runs through October 31. Only on select dates and times, prices start at $49. See link for full details.
