Bates Nut Farm
One of the family-oriented Halloween events is the Bates Nut Farm in Valley Center. Bring your family here and have a picnic, enjoy the hay rides, walk through the straw maze, check out pumpkin patch, farm zoo, or pick your own Jack-O-Lantern. Bates Nut Farm Pumpkin Patch will remain open till 31st October daily from 9am to 5pm, so do spare a few hours to spend with your family here.
Vacations are supposed to be rejuvenating and relaxing. But if you spend most of your time in traveling from any destination to another, then it becomes hectic. Therefore choose a hotel in San Diego from where not just all these Halloween venues but also Balboa Park, beaches and other major attractions are nearby.
This will ensure that you spend your time in exploring places and checking out events rather than wasting long hours in commuting and getting parking. There are lots of good San Diego hotels which offer commendable services at affordable prices. And once you are done reserving room in a good San Diego lodging, make your itinerary which must include a visit to any of the Halloween event. It will be fun!
