Celebrate this Halloween by tip-toeing through one of the most haunted cities in the country during a San Francisco tour<\/a>!\u00a0 The City by the Bay doesn\u2019t receive nearly enough attention as a hotbed for paranormal activity.\u00a0 Yet, Alcatraz alone plays host to more ghosts than most other cities.\u00a0 And, touring the prison near the equinox is\u00a0among the most popular things to do in San Francisco on Halloween.\u00a0 But, even if you don\u2019t feel like becoming an amateur ghost-hunter on The Rock, you\u2019ll find no shortage of family-friendly Halloween events and activities, like these:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

San Francisco Dungeon<\/h4>\n

\"top-best-things<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Slither into the city\u2019s seedy underbelly with San Francisco Dungeon tickets!\u00a0 One of the scariest things to do in San Francisco on Halloween involves creeping through the bowels of this infernal metropolis and living to tell the tale.\u00a0 Descend below Fisherman\u2019s Wharf<\/a> and survive nine ghastly reenactments of San Francisco\u2019s darkest historical moments.\u00a0 From eerie s\u00e9ances to deadly gang wars to the contagious madness of gold fever, the San Francisco Dungeon will leave you wondering who you should fear more:\u00a0 The living or the dead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Boo at the Zoo<\/h4>\n

Getting your hands on some San Francisco Zoo tickets may not seem like one of the best things to do in San Francisco on Halloween.\u00a0 But, during Boo at the Zoo, zookeepers and other staff do a fantastic job of creating a safe place for small children to trick-or-treat.\u00a0 So, dress up and participate in the Costume Parade & Contest.\u00a0 Or, enjoy an especially creepy-crawly activity inside the Insect Zoo.\u00a0 And, watch your favorite animals demolish pumpkins, gourds, and other autumn vegetables during the Pumpkin Stomp & Chomp!\u00a0 This Halloween could get messy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alcatraz Tour<\/h4>\n

\"top-best-things<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it.\u00a0 Alcatraz represents the top San Francisco attraction at all times during the year.\u00a0 But, an Alcatraz tour<\/a> leading up to Halloween presents an even spookier San Francisco experience.\u00a0 As one of the most haunted places in the country, Alcatraz has gained a reputation for coming alive with paranormal activity in the lead-up to and aftermath of Halloween.\u00a0 Why not try it out and see if you can contact the spirit of Al Capone or the Birdman of Alcatraz?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Great Pumpkin Fest<\/h4>\n

The Great Pumpkin Fest at California\u2019s Great America provides a fun, scare-free Halloween experience for young children.\u00a0 Every year, Planet Snoopy morphs into Planet Spooky, a safe place for small kids to trick-or-treat, navigate a haystack maze, create jack-o-lanterns, and play in a pumpkin patch.\u00a0 And, the kiddos can still meet Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts Gang in their Halloween costumes.\u00a0 Just make sure you leave by nightfall, when the ghouls start crawling out of the woodwork.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Halloween Haunt<\/h4>\n

\"top-best-things<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brace yourself for the scare of a lifetime during the Halloween Haunt at California\u2019s Great America!\u00a0 With 8 horrifying mazes, like Roadkill Roadhouse, Tooth Fairy, and Cornstalkers, Halloween Haunt produces screams that can be heard across the Bay Area.\u00a0 Take in macabre performances, such as Blood Drums and Opening Scares.\u00a0 And, enter spine-chilling Scare Zones, like Ripper\u2019s Revenge.\u00a0 It\u2019s what to do in San Francisco if you need a little hit of adrenaline.<\/p>\n
