Children meet some of the sanctuary's resident animals, look at mysterious specimens, make Halloween crafts and their own creature, and enjoy sweet treats. The page lists fish feeding and fish facts at 10 am, storytime with The Bat at 12:30 pm, and a costume parade and dance party at 2 pm, so come in costume. Free, but registration is required through the sanctuary's Eventbrite link. ## Similar picks in Providence - [Haunted Haywagon Tour at Norman Bird Sanctuary](https://grassyknees.com/providence/activities/haunted-haywagon-tour-at-norman-bird-sanctuary--listing-80c822a5cd5dabf892be6793) — Fri, Oct 30 · 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM · Norman Bird Sanctuary, Middletown · Ages 8+ · From $15 · checked Oct 24.
