I am always looking for fun Halloween events to enjoy with my family, and the Dunkin’ Spooktacular Stroll was a fantastic find. I am excited to share this fun, walk-thru Halloween-themed attraction in a park in Syracuse. This is a perfect Halloween destination for all ages. This is basically a Halloween version of the Lights on the Lake, and it is just wonderful.
Why We Loved It
One of the things I really don’t like about many Halloween-themed attractions is people jumping out and grabbing me… aka: “scaring me.” Which made this destination very attractive to me. You can stroll through and enjoy the lavishly decorated Halloween scenes.
We brought my young niece and nephew with us, along with my two teens. I wasn’t sure how this place would fly with the older two or whether or not it might be too spooky for the younger two. I had nothing to worry about in either direction. The displays are unique and have the perfect amount of Halloween spook and Halloween fun. The scenes are enchanting and fun and aren’t the least bit scary. The little ones absolutely loved it just as much as my teens did. It was a really great way to get the entire family into the Halloween mood.
When we arrived at check-in, we were given a voucher for free half dozen Dunkin’ Donuts, which we happily went to collect after our visit (You will have to GPS the nearest Dunkin’ Donuts – the coupon is only good at Syracuse and Central New York Dunkin’ Donuts.)

Getting To The Dunkin’ Spooktacular Stroll
Address: 3813 Long Branch Rd, Liverpool
We went during the week, and we didn’t have long to wait in line to enter. It was nice there wasn’t a crowd, and we could stop and admire the scenes more closely. The weekends are more popular and can sell out.
