When a candy skeleton springs to life, Vita sets off on a musical journey, dancing with ancestors, escaping the trickster Chaneques and meeting La Catrina, to gather the missing pieces for her family's ofrenda and learn what Día de Muertos really means. A lively Day of the Dead introduction for grade-school kids. ## Similar picks in Milwaukee - [PNC Mobile Learning Adventure at Discovery World](https://grassyknees.com/milwaukee/activities/pnc-mobile-learning-adventure-at-discovery-world--listing-fe64d6324d3568278017c137) — Sat, Oct 31 (+1 more date) · 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Discovery World · With admission · checked Oct 24.
