Spooktacular Costume Stores

By , About.com Guide

Halloween in the Mile High City starts with the perfect costume, preferably one that will keep you warm while trick-or-treating in the Colorado weather. Check out our top shops for Halloween costumes for both children to adults.

  • The Wizard's Chest
    Cherry Creek's premier toy store transforms its upper floor into a Halloween Mecca, but be prepared to pay Cherry Creek dollars for the elaborate costumes. However, the Wizard's Chest offers one of the widest selection of adult and children costumes in town so it's worth visiting, if only to get ideas.

    The Wizard's Chest
    230 Fillmore St.
    Denver, CO 80206
    303-321-4304

  • Fascinations Sensual Shoppe
    Fascinations offers adult costumes only, especially of the R-rated variety. If you're planning on being a naughty nurse or basically anything else with naughty in the title, this is the place to go. Be forewarned, you might never look at cartoon characters in the same way.

    Fascinations Sensual Shoppe
    4111 E. Virginia Ave.
    Denver, CO 80246
    303-322-3324

  • The Disney Store
    If you prefer your Disney characters officially licensed, the Disney Store in Aurora offers plenty of princess outfits for little girls and pirate costumes for little boys. Grown-ups can also find costumes from their favorite Disney films. The Disney Store is also located at the FlatIron Crossing mall in Broomfield.
