Children can collect sweet treats, see decorated police and fire vehicles, get their faces painted and pick up Halloween safety tips. The Crime Scene Unit and the fire department set up 'frightfully fun' displays, and the Ladies 327 Inc Kids Zone adds a fishing pond and a bounce house. Billed as 'not so spooky', it suits preschoolers and young children who find haunted events too scary; costumes are welcome. Held on a weekday afternoon the week of Halloween. ## Similar picks in Orlando - [Apopka Police Halloween Highway (drive-thru trick-or-treat)](https://grassyknees.com/orlando/activities/apopka-police-halloween-highway-drive-thru-trick-or-treat--listing-dc1f39953b63110a4ae24249) — Wed, Oct 28 · 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM · E.
