S'mores, hot chocolate, a campfire and hayride—if that sounds like your idea of a perfect fall afternoon, you'll want to visit Pinnacle Mountain this weekend for its annual Halloween Hayride. It's also a great weekend for music-loving families: The Children's Library hosts its big Kidstock concert and festival and the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra presents a concert accompanied by circus acts.

Those looking for more Halloween activities, remember it's the season of Boo at the Zoo and Magic Screams (see our full list of Halloween events for more info)! You can also get spooked at a performance of the "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" at the Arkansas Arts Center Children's Theatre or avoid the frights at The Wonder Place's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
