The fun takes place from noon-3 p.m. and includes costume contests for children and their pets, a petting farm, creepy critters from the Leslie Science & Nature Center in Ann Arbor, and entertainment from magician Gordon Russ, ventriloquist Richard Paul, and music activities throughout the afternoon from Kindermusik.

Kids will be able to choose from about 20 games to play, stop by treat stations and visit costumed characters, like the Detroit Tigers’ Paws, Chuck E. Cheese, and Anna and Elsa from the Disney movie “Frozen.”
