We are dying to bring you our 8th Annual Best Decorated Halloween Houses list with a map, photos, and important details (including how scary it is, when the display be ready, and hours for houses with light/music shows)! We also prepared driving routes for Halloween House Tours.
Local families have gone all out to create the best decorated houses for Halloween in Chicago’s suburbs for everyone to enjoy. Neighbors all over Chicagoland deck out their houses with spooky decorations, punny gravestones, fog machines, bubbles, and more.
My boo crew loves to pile in the car and drive around looking at giant Halloween displays. We hop out of the car to check out the local spooky decorations and music. The kids love to bring glow sticks, a pumpkin cookie, and hot apple cider for a fun night out. Sometimes we even let them dress up in their Halloween costumes to do our spooky driving tours. You’re going to love the driving tours!
We think this pack of glow sticks is pretty great, and one of the moms on our team found this flashlight that projects a ghost, spider, pumpkin, skull, or bat, which makes it even more fun! (If you purchase through these affiliate links, it’s the same price, but we’ll earn a commission that helps support Kidlist.)
We have closed our 2024 submissions. Thank you all for contributing to our Kidlist Halloween Houses for 2024.

Together they have taken their knowledge and skills to create a unique family friendly Halloween evening show for the city and surrounding area using video projection and whole house mapping.
