Sand Ridge Nature Center in South Holland hides tiny pumpkins for a Halloween-weekend scavenger hunt on Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1, from noon to 4 p.m. each day. Children search for the hidden pumpkins and take one home, while supplies last, so arriving earlier in the afternoon is wise. Costumes are encouraged and the hunt is free. It suits preschoolers and young school-age kids with their families.
