Costumes and candy buckets set the tone for the Little Boo Bash at Mochas & Minis, a Halloween celebration created with young children in mind. Kids can trick-or-treat indoors by visiting a series of playful, Halloween-themed doors set up throughout the space, giving first-time or hesitant trick-or-treaters a chance to practice in a friendly setting. The festivities include Halloween games and activities, playtime, and treats. Costumes are encouraged, and families are reminded to bring a trick-or-treat bucket. Pre-registration is required so enough treats and supplies can be prepared for everyone, and balloons may be present with activities. Pricing is $12 per child for members and $25 per child for non-members.
