Every year in Phoenix: the FAQ

Mother Nature's Farm Fall Festival (Oct 26 – Nov 1, 2026); Vertuccio Farms Fall Festival (Oct 26–31, 2026); Spooky Safari at the Phoenix Zoo (Oct 28, 29 and 30, 2026); Chandler Halloween Spooktacular (Oct 30, 2026); Trick-or-Treat at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix (Oct 30 and 31, 2026), plus 23 more below.

It stays up at the same address. Once the dates pass, the page shows the last confirmed dates with that year’s price and ages, and we add the next dates when the official page lists them.

Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page and links to it. We only list a date, time or price when that page shows it, and anything we can’t confirm stays off. These were last checked Oct 30, 2026, and we recheck them every Monday and Thursday. How we choose and check.

The checked list, every Thursday.

One short email every Thursday evening with the best things to do with little ones in Phoenix that weekend.
