Trick or Treat in the Poconos

Reward your kids with something they’ve always wanted: an action-packed, multi-day Halloween party! Woodloch Resort is gearing up for yet another “Spooktacular” October here in the colorful Pocono Mountains. Guests from the greater New York City area arrive every October for the crisp air, bright leaves, and spooky delights.

Plan a two, three, or four-day Halloween vacation at the premier all-inclusive resort in North America. All other family resorts in PA strive to match the high standard that we set all the way back in 1958. Join us for a full weekend of haunted hayrides, scarecrow building, pumpkin painting, costume parties, Halloween parades, and trick or treating!

Haunted Hayrides

Much like all of our homegrown activities, the Woodloch Haunted Hayride rises to new heights every October. Every fall, we have scarier monsters, intensified pyrotechnics, and top-of-the-line props. Here’s your friendly reminder: the Haunted Hayride is not for the faint of heart! We produce dozens of terrifying nightmares based on popular horror films, television series, and our wild imaginations. We take Halloween very seriously – it takes weeks to transform our tranquil trail into a haunted forest thrill ride. Do you have the courage to hop aboard our homegrown Haunted Hayride?

Spooktacular Midweeks and Halloween Weekends

Woodloch Resort‘s Halloween celebration began as a two-day event and has quickly blossomed into a 21-day extravaganza. Choose between a three or four-day Spooktacular Midweek stay or a Friday and Saturday Halloween Weekend. Each day is jam-packed with costume parties, pumpkin painting, scarecrow building, parades, scavenger hunts, crafts, and, of course, trick or treating. Every event will be SCARY fun and appropriate for all ages. Don’t miss out on our “Halloween Wars” baking contest and the annual “Boo-Lympics.” No other family resorts in PA offer these crowd-pleasing activities and events.

Terrifyingly Fun Autumn Activities

When your children aren’t baking a ghoulish cupcake, painting Jack Skellington’s face on a ripe pumpkin, or collecting yummy bite-size candy, they will surely enjoy one of our many homegrown fall activities. Guests of all ages love animal; that’s why we have a petting zoo with adorable baby cows, rabbits, lambs, and sheep. Your little princess also deserves a pony ride! Autumn is the perfect season for a complimentary mystifying magic show or a thrilling puzzle in our haunted Escape Room.

Family Resorts in PA

The entire staff here at Woodloch Resort is counting down the days until October. Not only is our Poconos wilderness setting a stunning blend of crimson, amber, and marigold, but our Halloween-themed events are beloved by children and adults alike. Give your entire family the Halloween jamboree they deserve by booking a Spooktacular getaway to beautiful Woodloch Resort!

A Stunning Autumn Adventure to the Poconos

Summer break is nearly in the rearview mirror as classes begin in a handful of weeks (groan!). Luckily you can give the kids something to look forward to this autumn by planning a family adventure to Woodloch Resort. Our all-inclusive Pocono Mountains resorts bring families together with endless activities, breathtaking scenery, and world-class amenities thanks to our dedicated staff.

Witness a stunning mixture of kelly green, amber orange, straw yellow, and brick red by exploring our 1,000-plus acres of Pennsylvania wilderness or by embarking on a scenic drive through the glorious Pocono countryside. Take a breather from your hectic city life and give the kids a short break from their schoolwork with an autumn escape to Woodloch’s premier Pocono Mountains resorts.

Best Scenic Drives in the Poconos

It’s rather easy to find a beautiful autumn road because the entire Pocono region offers stunning drives through mountains and valleys. Journey through the Pennsylvania mountain wilderness with a trip on these three nearby routes, all of which are minutes from our family-friendly Pocono Mountains resorts. Grab a delicious, freshly roasted coffee and a fresh homemade muffin from Gigi’s Coffee House then pack the kids in the car for an unforgettably colorful trip.

Route 507

Pick up Route 507 in Wilsonville, two miles south of Hawley. Route 507 twists and turns on the southern side of beautiful Lake Wallenpaupack, the third largest lake in Pennsylvania. This route is a tranquil lake drive with stunning vistas of the sapphire blue lake and the colorful hillside.

Route 402

If you’re planning on visiting the Delaware Water Gap, home to one of the best autumn overlooks on the East Coast, head south on Route 402. This sequestered route cuts through the Poconos countryside with only two towns on a 40-mile stretch of mountain road. Route 402 also runs through the heart of the Delaware State Forest, a lush wooded wonderland. Bushkill Falls, one of the most beautiful chains of waterfalls in the country, is a short detour from the Delaware Water Gap.

U.S. Route 6

If you’re visiting Woodloch Resort from the New York City area, we recommend embarking on a small detour by picking up U.S. Route 6 in Milford. Take U.S. 6 all the way to White Mills before backtracking to our Lake Teedyuskung haven. This highway, which stretches all the way to California, is considered one of the Top Scenic Routes in America. The town of Milford is a scenic hill city with engrossing history, eclectic shopping, and beautiful Poconos vistas.

Pocono Mountains Resorts

There’s never a dull moment at Woodloch Resort thanks to the staff’s tireless efforts and our jam-packed daily itineraries. The whole family will love the onsite hayrides pulled by two of our beautiful, white horses. Stroll down our mile-long paved nature trail or play a round of golf in the breathtaking Poconos countryside at Woodloch Springs. Woodloch’s Pocono Mountains resorts are conveniently located within driving distance of New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Boston. Book an unforgettable autumn adventure that the whole family can appreciate in the scenic Pocono Mountains!
