Don’t you just love it when Halloween falls on a weekend? In addition to dressing up the kiddies in their cute costumes for the usual evening trick-or-treat excursion, you can now max out your camera batteries by having them in costume throughout the day as well.

All dressed up and nowhere to go, you say? Thankfully this year, Balboa Park is presenting a park-wide Family Day on Saturday, October 31, chocked full of safe, kid-friendly treats offered by dozens of park attractions.

Headlining the festivities are 15 different museums that will open their doors free to children 17 and under with a paid adult admission. Each museum will also present a variety of hands-on activities and special programs to keep tails wagging throughout the day. For example, at the Air & Space Museum, children can build paper pumpkins with parachutes and visit the Snoopy Soars with NASA exhibition. Meanwhile, the Museum of Photographic Arts will show films in conjunction with the San Diego Children’s Film Festival.

Outside the museums, there will be no shortage of short-attention-filling fun either. On the Spanish Village Art Center patio, for instance, artists will turn pumpkins into magical Jack O’ Lanterns, while the nearby Village Grill churns out free ice cream to anyone presenting proof of a paid museum admission.

I know where I’ll be on October 31, and now you know where you should be as well!
