It’s starting to feel pretty spooky. We’re seeing ghouls and ghosts around every aisle in the market, and bags of candy are magically appearing (and just as magically being torn open and beginning to disappear). But we’re on the job, and we’re here to help you navigate your amazing Halloween in Big Bear.
Halloween is great in Big Bear, and you’ll be glad you made the drive. It’s a fun day, and there’s a lot you can do. Our annual favorite is Halloween in the Village. The 50+ shops of Big Bear Village open their doors to all your little goblins. They’ll collect a great assortment of treats as they wander in the safety of The Village. It’s a perfect family night where you can stroll among all the shops with mom and dad finding their own treats to complete the experience.
But wait, there’s more! From 4pm to 9pm you can take the short drive over to Fawnskin where you’ll be treated to the Big Bear Moose Lodge’s 2nd Annual Mystery Maze. This positively petrifying event will have you wandering through darkened spaces, mirrors and finally (if you’re lucky) finding freedom from these fantastic frights. There is a small charge, but head over for great fun. The lodge is located at 39247 North Shore Dr.
Fawnskin, California 92333.
And as if that weren’t enough, Mountain Room Escapes’ Alpine Ski Lodge game gets a creepy make over Oct. 30 through Nov. 2. This is a 4-day only “pop up” escape room located at 1121 W Big Bear Blvd., Big Bear Lake, California 92315. A fun and creepy (but not too creepy!) experience perfect to get into the Halloween spirit. The plot for the event supposes that after a snow in, no one has heard from the guests staying at the ski lodge. Is the power out, or is there something more sinister at play? What could go wrong? Find out, if you dare. Visit their website for more details to add to your halloween in Big Bear.

If your family is like ours, Halloween is one of your favorite times of the year. It combines the chance to let your little ones experience a brief time as a super hero, zombie, funny character, or animal. There’s lots of candy involved as well. It’s hard to find anything not to like about Halloween. And Halloween in Big Bear is especially fun.
One way to maximize your fun over Halloween is to make it a family getaway with a Five Star Vacation Rental to cap off the experience. Enjoy a fun evening strolling with the kids, shopping and trick-or-treating in The Village, then finish the night with a great meal in a local restaurant or one you cook up yourself in your gourmet kitchen. Either way, it’s going to be a fun night as the kids sort through their candy, and you all relax by the fireplace in your luxury vacation rental.
Halloween falls on a Friday this year, and we’ve got some positively spooky ideas for great fun in Big Bear.
Our favorite story was from our old Uncle Murray. He said Halloween was started centuries ago by a guy named Hal who was constantly begging for free food from his neighbors One year in late October the neighbors rebelled at his freeloading and plotted a way to make it stop. They all dressed in scary outfits and decided to scare Hal away. They hid in the bushes one night as Hal made his usual rounds and jumped out while screaming loudly. The plot seemed to work. Hal ran away and did not return. His neighbors celebrated the fact that they had weaned Hal from his continually mooching. Things became unusually quiet around the neighborhood. It was too quiet.
