It was time for a Halterman Halloween evening, so we headed out to Roanoke's Putt Putt Golf and Games (Putt Putt Fun Center officially, I believe). They advertise a haunted house acceptable to those under 12, so we grabbed one of Elijah's friends and his mom and went on an outing. The simple haunted house was true to billing--and not crowded, so the staff was willing to customize our tour to a no-scare variety as we toted in the toddlers. Inside, we found a friendly teenage tour guide, blacklights, strobe lights, inflatables, and several moving figures. The tour is guided, and on our no-scare version, the guide taught us where actors would be hiding on the typical tour. Elijah looked at several of the animated decorations and proclaimed, "Again!" Touring the house takes 5-10 minutes.
If you go, look for a coupon--some people in line ahead of us had one. If your tour is not a no-scare, be prepared for some people wearing masks hiding to startle you. On a nice fall night like tonight, you could also opt to play putt putt. The haunted house tour is just $4, and putt putt is $6. Cheap fun! For good nearby dinner, there's Alejandro's, a Mexican place with Roanoke's best salsa bar. This Alejandro's (a satellite of the one downtown) is beside the Goodwill as Peters Creek and Williamson intersect in the Hollins area.
