As Amarillo is counting down the days until Halloween this weekend is going to be huge. There will be a lot of Trunk or Treats, parties, costume contests, and such to get us ready for the big day next Thursday.
Halloween is a fun time to dress up and get candy. It's fun to watch scary movies. Anything creepy and crawly is cool for a few weeks. We don't worry about the scary things we see decorating the neighbor's yards. No, I am not talking about those political signs. However, those can be scary too.
Not everything has to be scary but it can be great Halloween fun. If that family-friendly fun is what you are looking for this weekend then we got your answer. Amarillo Parks and Recreation is hosting Monster Park. Oh, and as luck would have it the event will be hosted at a park. The site is Memorial Park on Washington Street.
Several activities will include games, face painting, and a petting zoo. There will be food trucks for when you get hungry. Make sure you and your family come in costume because what Halloween celebration would be complete without a costume contest with prizes?
From Amarillo Parks and Recreation's Social Media:
They did hint about a special surprise if the weather permits. The hint included looking at their sponsors. The guess of course is possible hot air balloons making an appearance. That would be pretty great.
All of the games, contests, and fun sounds great but there is even more. A Halloween movie to wind down the fun that evening. The movie will be Hotel Transylvania so a perfect selection for the family.
So as you are looking for fun Halloween stuff to do this weekend here is your invite to head out to Monster Park. The family will love it.
