| 12 to 1:30 pm |
A quick free build at the LEGOLAND retail store in The Shops at Rivercenter, and kids walk out with a friendly ghost. It's while supplies last, so earlier is safer.

Beatles songs played for kids are a fun way to share your music with them. Book ahead and check the time, since the listing doesn't give one.

|
 Evening |
Stress free trick-or-treating through The DoSeum and a Pumpkin Ball to end the night make this one special. Costumes are encouraged, and booking ahead is the move.
