There’s no better place to do exactly that when you head this way over Halloween than the iconic Moose Alley. Located at 2809 Main Street, Moose Alley is a vibrant, welcoming, and family-friendly stop to enjoy whether you’re in the mood for some savory bites or you can’t wait to put your skills to the test on the bowling lanes. Moose Alley hosts 10 state-of-the-art lanes complete with electronic scoring systems and bumpers upon request. It’s just $5 a person to play and shoe rentals are only $3. League bowling happens on Monday and Tuesday evenings in the fall, so if you’re dropping by at one of those times, it can be fun to watch the experts in action too! Moose Alley also has three 9-foot tournament edition pool tables on set as well as a 16-foot shuffleboard table and cornhole sets for added fun. Darts, air hockey, and foosball are also available in this area. If you’re dropping by with little ones, they might enjoy time in the sprawling arcade. When all of that fun has you looking to curb a craving or two, enjoy time at the Spirits Café Bar & Grill where menu options are available until 8:00 pm daily. The menu hosts everything from quesadillas and Reuben sandwiches to fried chicken salad and burgers just to name a few. Whether you go with the popcorn shrimp or the veggie pizza, visitors won’t want to leave without topping off their Halloween Moose Alley excursion with something sweet. Both the soft-serve ice cream and macaroons come highly recommended!
Sip a Cup of Coffee at The Rangeley Hideaway
Getting out and enjoying time exploring the terrain over Halloween is a great way to spend time in scenic Rangeley, Maine.

Located at 2419 Maine Street, this coffee shop is a dual café and workspace, giving guests options to pick and choose between the environment they want to sit back and relax. While the dedicated work desks are more for remote working guests, the café space is ideal for all! Order up a pumpkin latte and settle into cozy furnishings while enjoying easy access to Wi-Fi. Tastings, workshops, and speakers are often on the lineup during the evenings if you choose to grab your coffee later in the day. Beyond the savory coffee selection that’s sure to delight, The Rangeley Hideaway menu also hosts hot chocolate for the kids and organic teas.
