The Best Things to Do in Helena, Montana in October 2024
If you’re looking for some of the best things to do this fall in Helena, you’ve come to the right place! October is an amazing blend of beautiful and spooky. There’s something here for everyone.
Help get Fall started and join Tizer Botanic Gardens for a “Farewell to Summer” event! There will be food and drinks, games, sales, and free admission into the garden.
A quintessential part of every October is visiting pumpkin patches and corn mazes. Lucky for you there are some great options!
- Johnson’s pumpkin patch: There is nothing like walking through rows and rows of pumpkins to pick out the PERFECT one!
- Edgewater Farms Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch: This is the perfect place for kids (and adults) of all ages to come and play. Make sure to join them for their special events and many attractions!
- Applestem Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch: Just a short drive out to Craig gives you the chance to enjoy the country air while having some fun. With so many activities, you won’t know where to begin!
If you’re looking for something a little spookier, head out to one of the nearby ghost towns such as Marysville or Elkhorn Ghost Town. For a truly terrifying night, take a short drive over to Deer Lodge. At the Old Montana Prison, you can experience Terror in the Cellhouse: Killers on the Loose! Not looking to drive? You can also read up on Helena’s haunted history and search for ghosts right here in town!
As you walk, bike, or drive, you will be surrounded by stunning fall colors, so make sure to enjoy them while they’re here!
You can always find more events on our website!
We’ll leave you with one last thing: Enjoy your trips and have a great Fall! 😊
