The event kicks off with a pancake breakfast buffet, complete with toppings, scrambled eggs and other classic morning fare. After refueling, children and parents can enjoy three hours of Halloween‑themed activities. Highlights include a costume contest, a scavenger hunt, coloring stations and a Monster Mash dance party.

Guests will have the chance to pose with two costumed characters – the Pumpkin King and Ragdoll – for themed photo opportunities. The venue encourages families to arrive in costume, adding to the festive atmosphere.
