Historic Oakland Cemetery has many visitors by day, but only at Halloween do its gates stay open at night. What better place for a Halloween tour than a cemetery. Hear about Atlanta’s past from a host of Oakland’s “residents.” Bring a flashlight and comfortable walking shoes. I’ve heard these tours aren’t really scary – well except for the fact that you’re in a cemetery at night. The stories are historic in nature and there aren’t any goblins or ghosts jumping out at you.
Tours start at 5:30 pm each night at the Bell Tower (Quasimodoish, how creepy) and last approximately one hour. You must have your ticket to enter. Tours are sold in timed increments, so advanced ticket purchases only.
So how can you win FREE tickets? Become a fan of Field Trips with Sue on Facebook and upload a photo or video of your favorite Atlanta field trip.

Oddly enough, our favorite field trip of late was to Stevi B's pizza in Johns Creek. They did a fantastic job with the kids (preschool age), and was a fantastic all around environment. We will be back for more!
