Did you know Ohio has a Halloween capital?! 🎃👻 [ad]

We spent the weekend in Sandusky, Ohio, and I’m convinced this might be one of the most underrated fall getaways! 🍂

If you’re looking for a spooky little weekend getaway, here’s what we did in the Halloween Capital of Ohio:

🎢 HalloWeekends at @cedarpoint — There’s something for everyone, whether you love all things spooky or prefer to keep the scares to a minimum! During the day, enjoy rides, festive fall fun, and family-friendly Halloween activities. But once the sun goes down, things get a whole lot spookier with haunted houses, scare zones, and plenty of screams!

🏨 Hotel Breakers — We stayed right on the shores of Lake Erie at this historic hotel, which was decked out for Halloween and the perfect home base for a weekend of spooky adventures. You also get into the park early when staying at one of their properties and this came in clutch!

🧙🏻‍♀️ Sandusky Witches’ Walk— One of the coolest Halloween events we’ve experienced! Downtown Sandusky transforms into a sea of witches, with people traveling from all over to dress up, celebrate, and enjoy the festivities. There’s even a Witchy Market filled with vendors! The best part? It’s all for a good cause, raising money to support local organizations, after-school programs, scholarships, and more!

☕ Maca Root— The cutest spot (and completely gluten-free cafe) to grab breakfast and fuel up before a day of spooky adventures!

🛍️ Downtown Sandusky — So many cute local businesses to explore and plenty of small-town charm!

Whether you’re looking for thrills, Halloween festivities, or a fun fall weekend with the family, Sandusky deserves a spot on your October bucket list! 🎃

Save this for your next spooky season getaway! 🖤 by @shoresandislands
