Frequently Asked Questions

How do we pair a ghost tour with dinner in Farmington Hills?

Eat first: tours run 90 minutes of walking, and most start between 7 and 9 pm, so book dinner two hours before the tour within a short walk of the meeting point, and keep it lighter than you would for a movie night. Afterward, a nightcap spot near the route's end lets the group unpack the stories, the debrief is half the fun.

What Halloween-season events in Farmington Hills continue into early November?

The season doesn't end at midnight on the 31st: Día de los Muertos celebrations run October 31 through November 2, harvest markets and fall festivals continue into mid-November, and some attractions run one final discounted weekend. Costume and decor clearance peaks November 1-2 for next-year planning. If October overflowed, the first November weekend is the graceful catch-up window.

What should we bring to seasonal and harvest markets in Farmington Hills?

Cash in small bills alongside your card, since some vendors are cash-only while others are card-only, plus a sturdy tote or backpack for purchases and a cooler in the car for anything perishable. Go early for selection or the last hour for deals. Walk the full market once before buying, note the two best stalls, then circle back and commit.
