It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun, where storybook characters come alive! Kids are invited to dress in their most "boo-tiful" Halloween costumes and have a ghoulishly good time going on a spook-tacular scavenger hunt throughout The Magic House to find trick-or-treat locations, and see their favorite storybook characters.
While the Not-So-Haunted House won't be scary, the Electro-Static Generator will make your hair stand on end! Each child attending this Halloween event will receive a trick-or-treat bag and an autograph book as they enter The Magic House.
The Not-So-Haunted House will be held Fridays through Sundays:
Friday, Oct. 3 - Sunday, Oct. 5
Friday, Oct. 10 - Sunday, Oct. 12
Friday, Oct. 17 - Sunday, Oct. 19, and
