By News Desk
Families are invited to join the rollicking costume parades, create a friendly monster to take home, and craft an enchanting elixir in the Witch’s Kitchen. Kick off the spooky season with a day packed full of monstrously fun family memories starting September 19 through Halloween.
“Halloween at Kidspace feels like one big, joyful costume party every single day,” said Lisa Clements, Kidspace CEO. “It’s our favorite time of year, and we’re thrilled to keep expanding the celebration with even more events, creative play, and family fun.”
Kidspace Halloween thrills create magical memories all season long, including:
- Daily Costume Parades: Little mermaids and mummies can do the Monster Mash across the Halloween stage at the daily costume parades happening at 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, and 3:00 pm.
- Adopt-a-Monster Workshop: Design and take home your own delightfully silly or spooky sidekick.
- The Witch’s Kitchen: Mix up magical potions with a pinch of dragon scales, a drop of unicorn tears, and a dash of hocus pocus.
- Pumpkin Bowling: Go boo-ling for strikes, where every roll is a scream!
- Halloween House: Take a trike for a spin around the track and through a kooky-spooky Halloween house.
