Halloween is coming and it’s time to prove to all your out-of-state friends and family that Minnesota is the best choice when you’re looking for the most terrifying places to explore. Minnesotan’s LOVE Halloween and no other state comes close to the amount of spooky spirit that we see in the land of 10,000 lakes. Here’s why:

1. We have the Halloween capital of the world!

Like Glensheen Mansion, Wabasha Street Caves, Palmer House Hotel, and Forepaugh’s Restaurant.
3. So, naturally, we have a ton of ghosts!

4. We're home to some of the best corn mazes around.

Think Valley Corn Maize, Engwalls, Silver Brook, A and G Produce, Shafer, and many more!
5. And around every corner in MN is another abandoned old building to explore.

Be careful when looking at these places, they can be pretty dangerous.
