Office life is great, but let’s be honest – sometimes your team just needs to step away from the desks, ditch the endless spreadsheets, and embrace the spooky side of the city. If you’re hunting for a Halloween team activity to build morale, reward your crew, and have some fun this October, Denver has some awesome seasonal spots.

Here are five of our favorite local places around town to take your team for a Halloween adventure this year.

#1 Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns (Hudson Gardens, Littleton)

The Vibe: Mesmerizing, artistic, and entirely outdoors.

Why take the team: If you want a visual spectacle that appeals to literally everyone, head just south of the city. They line a winding path with thousands of hand-carved, glowing pumpkins built into massive displays – think giant dinosaurs, pirate ships, and pop-culture icons. It’s a really relaxed evening walk where colleagues can actually chat, grab a cup of hot cider, and take some cool photos together away from work.

#2 Glow at the Gardens (Denver Botanic Gardens)

The Vibe: Elegant, atmospheric, and uniquely Denver.

Why take the team: This one is a classic for a reason. For a few nights in mid-October, the botanical gardens light up with thousands of intricately carved jack-o’-lanterns nestled right into the flora, complete with ambient music and live carvers. Just a heads up – tickets for this famously sell out fast, so you’ll want to grab them early if you’re planning to treat the office.

#3 Elitch Gardens Fright Fest (Denver)

The Vibe: Roller coasters by day, thrills by night.

Why take the team: For teams that prefer a serious adrenaline rush, an evening here is hard to beat. You get a fun dual experience: start with some afternoon roller coasters, and then stick around once 6:00 PM hits and the park transforms into Fright By Night with haunted houses, scare zones, and roaming monsters. It’s high-energy and a great way to let off some steam.

#4 Victorian Horrors at the Molly Brown House Museum (Denver)

The Vibe: Historic, theatrical, and eerie.

Why take the team: Step back in time right into the historic Capitol Hill mansion of Denver’s own unsinkable Molly Brown. Local actors perform classic, spine-chilling gothic tales by candlelight in the dimly lit rooms. It’s an immersive, indoor cultural experience that’s ideal if your team appreciates a good old-fashioned ghost story over a jump-scare.

#5 Cheesman Park Ghost Tour (Denver)

The Vibe: Local history with a supernatural twist.

Why take the team: If your crew likes a mix of local history and eerie lore, book an evening walking tour around Cheesman Park. Since the park has a pretty fascinating (and very haunted) history as Denver’s early city cemetery, it makes for a super interesting walk. It’s an easy way to get some fresh autumn air and learn some weird local trivia together.
