The tours feature accounts of strange occurrences and ghost stories associated with the brewery’s historic industrial building. The experience combines local storytelling with a walk through areas connected to the building’s past.
The 2026 seasonal program runs on select dates through October 25. Because that date has passed, visitors planning an outing on October 29–31 should confirm whether additional tours have been announced rather than assume the attraction is still operating.
7. Halloween Activities for Families
Beyond ticketed attractions, families can look for additional Halloween activities around Tempe’s shopping districts, community centers and neighborhood venues.
Children often enjoy costume parades, pumpkin crafts, Halloween-themed games and trick-or-treating at participating businesses. These activities can be suitable for younger children who prefer a less frightening celebration.
Parents should check age requirements and event schedules before attending, particularly when planning activities for toddlers or children who need an earlier start time.
