We had so much fun at our first ever Halloween Spooktacular family event a few weeks ago! We loved seeing all of the creative and adorable costumes and celebrating this fun holiday together.

Host Sponsor
First, a huge thank you to our host sponsors, The Wishing Tree Play Café! We LOVE this local business and it’s owners, and we have enjoyed partnering with them in a variety of ways since they opened over a year ago. Their space provides the perfect backdrop for a family-friendly event, and we loved their delicious catering spread that all attendees were able to enjoy!
The Wishing Tree Play Café is an open plan, indoor playground and café designed for babies to pre-k kids and their caregivers. The Wishing Tree Play Café also hosts events, classes, workshops and private parties. They created the Wishing Tree Play Cafe to be an indoor play space and cafe where parents and caregivers can gather over coffee, tea or a bite to eat while their children (age 0-6) can explore and interact in a safe and welcoming environment. They offer enrichment classes for little ones, parent workshops and custom birthday parties too.
Title Sponsor
Metropolitan Pediatric Dental Associates were our title sponsors for this event, and brought two fun, Halloween-themed crafts for kids to make. We loved seeing all the kids walking around with their Halloween bracelets!
Metropolitan Pediatric Dental Associates is a specialty dental office for infants, toddlers, big kids, pre-teens, and teens with locations throughout the Twin Cities including St. Paul, Fridley, North Oaks, and Eagan. Our professional, gentle, and caring pediatric dentists have been providing quality dental care for children and adolescents since 1965.
Event Fun
We always love having Pretty Princess Parties at our events! Their characters and princesses are wonderful with the kiddos, always staying in character and striking awe and wonder in each child. Be sure and grab tickets to one of their fairytale balls that they hold throughout Minnesota (and the US!).
Our team had lots of fun games and activities for kids to enjoy while they collected goody bag prizes. A huge thank you to LEGO NINJANGO and Cars 3 for providing awesome bags for kids to load their treats into and goody bag items like posters, stickers, shirts and more!
The kids loved playing in The Wishing Tree Play Cafe play space. The foam noodle pit is always a favorite!
Costume Contest Winners
There were so many AMAZING costumes at this event that it was very difficult for our team to pick just one winner per session, so instead we picked TWO! We loved presenting our winners with fabulous prizes from our sponsors, The Wishing Tree Play Café, Cars 3, New Horizons Academy and The Pencil Grip Inc.
