Central Park asks that you do not use any unnatural substances, such as paint, on your pumpkin to reduce the risk of pollution. This is a great, family-friendly event! At the end of the display, you can pick your carved pumpkin back up! If you prefer trick-or-treating, you can stop by the Harlem Meer on the 27th to get some candy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Where: Harlem Meer in Central Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">When: October 28th from 4 to 7pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Price: FREE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Go to a Haunted House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"659\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unlimitedbiking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-4.45.31-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unlimitedbiking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-4.45.31-PM.png 659w, https:\/\/www.unlimitedbiking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-19-at-4.45.31-PM-300x216.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of NYPost<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, haunted houses aren&#8217;t for everyone.
