## About

Families book a one-hour time slot and are guided room by room through the Palatine Community Center on Halloween morning. The circuit includes a Halloween storytime, a craft, a monster-mash dance party and an indoor trick-or-treat trail, among other activities. It is geared to children ages 2–8, though any registered family member is welcome. Pre-registration is required for every adult and child, and costumes are encouraged. A good indoor option for toddlers and preschoolers who are too young for an evening of door-to-door trick-or-treating.
