Amusement Park If you have a family of thrill-seekers, then spend a day or two at a nearby amusement park. Many are open through the Fall and even host a few bone-chilling, Halloween-themed weeks that your little adrenaline junkies won't want to miss! If you live really close to one and still want to make it feel like a getaway, book a few nights at a nearby hotel. Image Source: Pexels / Angie
