Then take a break from all that trick-or-treating and ride the mysterious Huckelberry Ghost Train Express, walk through an enchanted forest, see an old-fashioned magic show, explore the maze of straw and munch on a crunchy apple or soft donut. 

      Crossroads' Ghosts & Goodies is open throughout the month of October on the 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, and the 24 through the 31. Hours of operation are weekdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and weekends, Saturday and Sunday, from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.

      Discounted, overnight packages, for a family of four, are available starting as low as $85 per night and includes Village admission, trick-or-treating, snacks and overnight accommodations at a Flint and Genesee County area hotel of your choice. Huckleberry Ghost Train is available to all for a very minimal fee.
