A Petrified Forest, Altamonte Springs
One day a year A Petrified Forest hosted a kids event. This kids day takes place in the morning and there are no spooks or scares. Everything is kid friendly!
Trick or treating is offered out on the open lawn as well as along one of the spooky trails. There are no scary actors, but you will be passing by some of the props and sets if you go along the trail – and some of them are not necessarily appropriate for little tykes.
There are plenty of activities and games, including free trinkets and prizes, without having to go along the trail.
Local food trucks are available to purchase snacks and drinks. Get there early! It gets crowded pretty quickly.
