## About

A free Halloween morning in the outdoor courtyard of Arizona Boardwalk, the attractions complex next to OdySea Aquarium. Costumed characters from Candie's Characters do meet-and-greets — a police pup, a space ranger, Jack Skellington, Cinderella, a web-slinging superhero and others — and children can trick-or-treat at vendor tables, so bring a candy bag. There is free face painting, a soft-play zone for toddlers, a DJ playing family music, local vendors and food from the complex's restaurants. Costumes are welcome. Best for preschoolers and early elementary children who like posing with characters; plan on an hour or two.
