Halloween is still one of my favorite holidays because it’s all about having fun. We have a nearly 3 year old daughter and wanted to come up with a few things for her to do over the next month. Figured it would be a list that any parent might have an interest in. Please leave a comment (or contact us) if you know of any other Halloween events for kids in the Arlington Heights area.
The Great Pumpkin Splash (Friday 10/17)
On October 17th Bob for pumpkins at Olympic Indoor Pool. The activity pool contains floating plastic pumpkins filled with candy. When the whistle blows the kids jump in and collect as many pumpkins as possible.
When the pumpkin collection is over feel free to stay for a swim and watch “The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”.
