Gather up your little ghosts and ghouls this Halloween season to visit one of the area’s several spooky attractions.

The Central Valley has a number of corn mazes, pumpkin patches, haunted houses and more to choose from each fall. But which local Halloween attraction is your favorite? Which Modesto-area spot do you make it an annual tradition to visit.

Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie who likes jump scares or a family looking to shoot some pumpkin cannons, the region has several options to make this Halloween spook-tacular. You can even find eerie entertainment with a dose of history from Modesto’s McHenry Mansion Morbid Obsession tours.

The Bee has put together a poll to see which Halloween attraction you love the most. This is a nonscientific poll, just for fun, so you can vote as many times as you want. Share the poll with friends and family so everyone gets a chance to pick their favorite. Even better, visit some of these places for yourself and rate the fun with your family.

The poll will close at 11:59 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26. We’ll publish the results shortly afterward, so be sure to come back to see who gets crowned best Halloween-season attraction in Stanislaus County and the surrounding area.
