Halloween list updated, includes educational corn maze, Marbles party, more

I've added some new events and more description to more than a dozen events on our Halloween and fall fun database, which now includes more than 110 listings.

Gillis Hill Road Produce in Fayetteville has a spin on the corn maze. Facts about famous people, famous firsts and North Carolina symbols are scattered through the maze, which is geared toward kids ages 3 to 12. The maze includes 17 questions and four educational boards filled with facts about North Carolina. Gillis Hill is at 2899 Gillis Hill Rd. in Fayetteville. It's open 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturdays. Tickets are $2 for adults and $4 for kids ages 3 to 12 with a paying adult. The maze runs through Oct. 31.

Marbles Kids Museum is holding a Kooky Spooky Halloween Party on Oct. 29 with some no-so-scary special events for families. Pre-registration is required. Costumes are encouraged.

Darkside Haunted Estates, the very scary haunted house about seven miles from Five County Stadium in Zebulon, will have a low scare night for kids from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 30.
