Destiny USA invites all ghouls, goblins, and heroes for a family-friendly Halloween Celebration! Guests will have a safe, warm, and dry place to enjoy their Halloween at Destiny USA’s Spook-A-Thon on Thursday, October 31st, from 3pm – 5pm inside Destiny USA’s Canyon area. The Halloween Spook-A-Thon promises a wide array of activities for children and adults alike including center-wide trick-or-treating, costume contest sponsored by the Syracuse Police Department, and the third annual Punkin’ Chuckin’ competition sponsored by Make-A-Wish CNY and Tim’s Pumpkin Patch. All proceeds from this year’s Punkin’ Chuckin’ event will be donated to Make-A-Wish CNY.

“Destiny USA is excited to transform into a hub of Halloween fun, ensuring families have a safe, warm, and memorable experience,” said Genevieve DeSpirito, Assistant General Manager at Destiny USA, “Who wouldn’t want to smash a pumpkin from 45 feet up? After last year’s sold-out success, this will be the third annual Punkin’ Chuckin’ at Destiny USA. Thanks to our partner, Tim’s Pumpkin Patch, we look forward to raising more funds for Make-A-Wish CNY.”

Families and children of all ages will enjoy:

  • Punkin’ Chuckin’ for Make-A-Wish CNY– Ever wanted to smash a pumpkin from great heights? Brought to you by Tim’s Pumpkin Patch and Destiny USA, for $5 you can chuck a pumpkin over the third level in the Canyon to raise money for Make-A-Wish CNY. Watch the pumpkin go “splat” while aiding a great cause. Chuckin’ starts at 3pm, while supplies last. Must be 52” in height to participate. Rules and restrictions apply.
