Halloween is on the strangest, spookiest of all times of the year, meaning that those taking a trip during this period will likely want something a bit different from the norm. These are some of the best options available for unusual Halloween holiday breaks, in the UK, Europe and the US.

Alton Towers

For those wishing to spend their Halloween holiday break in the UK, the Alton Towers amusement park in Staffordshire offers a great deal. Every year they have the ‘Scarefest’, which incorporates later than usual opening times (up until 9pm every night). Furthermore if you want to stay at the park overnight during this period, they include a number of special, ghostly Halloween experiences within their hotels. There are discounts available for children for both the park and the accommodation during this period.

Disneyland, Paris

If you prefer to go elsewhere in Europe, the Paris Disneyland park is another popular Halloween option. The park features special shows, decorations and parties to celebrate Halloween and, again you can opt to stay in one of the company’s hotels, where further attractions are available, including appearances by some of the famous Disney animated characters.

Circus Circus, Las Vegas

Then again, if the USA is your preferred Halloween location, then the Circus Circus in Las Vegas offers and affordable, if cheap and cheerful, option for families on tight budgets. This is the location of the Adventuredome, which is the largest indoor theme park in the US. Alternatively, if you wish something a bit more expensive, the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, which was one of the inspirations for the Stephen King novel The Shining and has a reputation for being haunted – features tours, Ghost Hunts with paranormal investigators, Murder Mystery dinners and Halloween screenings of The Shining, as entertainments to tempt both adults and children during the Halloween period.

When one partakes on a holiday, they try to imagine the relaxing and glorious time they will be having on their trip. They often don’t think about the unthinkable occurring while traveling. Unfortunately, things do happen that make it useful to have travel insurance. There are many different companies that offer travel insurance for travelers. One of these companies is Endsleigh.

Endsleigh offers customers a variety of travel insurance options. With some many options available it makes it easy to find the best travel insurance for specific needs. They offer travel insurance for single trips or multiple trips, whichever best fits your travel plans. You can easily obtain travel insurance from their website, endsleigh.co.uk. Purchasing insurance coverage through their website entitles you to an automatic 10% internet discount.

Multiple trip insurance will provide you with yearlong coverage for more than one trip. Each trip can be no more than 42 days or 6 weeks. Their multiple trip insurance provides special coverage options for different types of holidays you might take. This might include trips such as golf trips, sporting event trips, adventure holidays, cruises and more. Endsleigh also offers a discount for families. To qualify, parents must be traveling with children 17 and under. They may also be traveling with full time students no older than 23. There is not waiting period for this type of insurance to go into effect. Once you’ve purchased the policy, it is useable. In fact, if you purchase your multi-trip travel insurance online at the Endsleigh website, you can immediately print off the travel insurance documents once you’ve paid.

For those who do not travel as frequently, a single trip travel insurance policy from Endsleigh might be a better option and would come with a much less expensive premium. Many of the perks associated with the multi-trip travel insurance are also available with the single trip insurance. The biggest difference of course being that single trip travel insurance is only effective for one trip only not the unlimited number as is true with multi-trip. One option you can obtain with single trip is a 15% discount off this premium. In order to obtain this you must remove the baggage cover from your policy.
