Kidwinks visits Halloween Party at Navy Pier in Chicago

A couple of Fridays ago I took the kids to Chicago to enjoy the Halloween Party at Navy Pier.  The Really Big Halloween Party features: animal rides and a petting zoo, a dance party with live brass bands at noon & DJ spinners after 4 p.m., street performers, Harry Houdini's death defying water chamber escape, and if you purchase the Big Party Pass you get tickets to seven attractions - a very good deal ($20 for adults and kids 5 and over, and $15 for ages 3-4).

Using the pass we were able to ride a camel.  I never knew they were so soft and fuzzy.

We rode the carousel and played mini golf.  The kids rode on the swing ride... something I just can not do any more.

 

We also went to the Amazing Chicago's Funhouse Maze.  Believe it or not we have never been there.

There were performers dressed up who interacted with people walking along the pier.  Here are my kids having a hissing contest with a cat.

We also saw the fire performers who are always amazing to watch.  Keep in mind that most of attractions are outdoors so bring your coats.  They also have costume contests on Saturdays for children, teens and adults with first, second and third prizes and there is Trick-or-Treating for children 12 and under in costume on select dates.  ~ Nina
