Kids follow a Trick-or-Treat Trail of eight treat stations in Plains, visit ZooBoo Village at Leeward Manor, where the silly-not-spooky Leeward Sisters and their Aunt Clara Voyant reveal each child's mystic animal match, and catch a potions class with Magnificent Mixie or Professor Pumpkin. At 4:30 p.m. the elephants stomp and snack on giant pumpkins at the Elephant waterfall. Rides get a twist: the reverse-running Round-Go-Merry carousel and the Spook-Track-Ular Train (both until 7 p.m.), plus a mirror maze and pirate games near Oceans. Costumes are encouraged, and kids 12 and under may wear masks or full face paint. Wednesday, Oct. 28 is a sensory-friendly day with reduced music and lights from 2 p.m., free sensory bags and quiet rooms. ## Similar picks in Indianapolis - [Haunted House: Fright Academy at The Children's Museum](https://grassyknees.com/indianapolis/activities/haunted-house-fright-academy-at-the-children-s-museum--listing-be857713b35dd29c30190312) — Sat, Oct 24 (+6 more dates) · The Children's Museum of Indianapolis · From $9 · checked Oct 24.
