Spooky - Scary - Haunted - Halloween Maze in Agoura Hills 😱 🏚️

Come by and visit this Halloween Maze on Halloween Night Only
Sunday, October 31st from 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
29001 Old Carriage Court, Agoura

Come and visit the creep, cool, neighborhood creation.  This years theme is Michael Meyers Halloween, although he tries to keep it child appropriate it's geared for an older audience this year, come by if you dare! This adventure is not for the littles, even some adults run out screaming. You'll find the maze filled with live actors, loud effects and lighting effects. If you have one of those younger kids that love scary things you can come by, although it's geared for 12 and above but they will go less scary for the younger audience.  

There is not charge to come and visit this neighborhood Halloween Maze.  Jack's mom told me he is such a great kid and does this for the pure enjoyment of keeping busy and making people happy with his creations.

Shen Yun - Thousand Oaks

Shen Yun is a brilliant artistic revival and celebration of China’s rich cultural heritage.
Each performance consists of about 20 pieces, quickly moving from one legend, region, or dynasty to the next. Themes range from the delicate elegance of Tang court ladies to the battlefield heroics of valiant generals, from the timeless philosophical works of Lao-Tzu to spectacular scenes of magical realms. Some pieces also touch upon the topic of today’s China, shedding light on the oppression many experience for their spiritual beliefs, such as Falun Dafa. These tales of courage are often what audience members find the most touching and uplifting.

Through breathtaking dance and music, Shen Yun’s artists tell of a time when divine beings walked upon the earth, leaving behind a culture that inspired generations. Ancient Chinese wisdom, infused with Buddhist and Taoist spirituality and values, gave birth to everything from medical innovations to opera, dance, architecture, and even martial arts. But after decades of communist rule, much of this divinely inspired culture has been destroyed or forgotten.

Run Time: 2 hours and 15 minutes including intermission
