Children in costume can trick-or-treat at the Boardwalk's retail stores, and on Halloween afternoon there are kids' crafts, a balloon artist and a haunted DJ in the Main Plaza, followed at 5:30 PM by a free kids' costume contest in four groups (ages 0–4, 5–11, 12–18 and groups; top three in each win a small toy). Friday night ends with an outdoor Fright Night movie at 7:45 PM. The Little Boo Haunted Fun House is the gentle, kid-sized walk-through ($6 per person); the separate Phobia haunted houses are aimed at older thrill-seekers and are ticketed. Rides, food and the fun house are paid. ## Similar picks coming up in Houston - [Houston Pumpkin Festival at Discovery Green](https://grassyknees.com/houston/activities/houston-pumpkin-festival-at-discovery-green--listing-c1b6e8c1fc7bb3fd4987d996) — Sep 19 – Nov 8 · Discovery Green — Lindsey Waterside Landing · From $18 · checked Oct 15.
