The "Kids Zone" will have plenty of activities for children, including a zipline, giant inflatables, scarecrow making, pumpkin decorating, petting zoo, face painting, and carnival games with prizes. Toddlers can enjoy the "Tot's Zone" with a small jumper, arts and crafts, sandbox, face painting, and more.
