Parents Night OutNight of Zombies
3 Reasons Why Your Child will Love our Night of the Zombies Parent Night Out!
- Just like you, sometimes kids need a night off too. Believe it or not, kids get stressed out just like adults. So give yourself a night off while your child gets to experience a fun night of fighting off zombies, being silly, and having a great time with friends.
- They can wear costumes! Kids love dressing up like their favorite superhero, princess, or Halloween monster. Plus, their Halloween costume will get even more use instead of being a “one and done”.
- Activities that can’t do anywhere else! Whether it’s turning each other into zombies, doing scavenger hunts, bowling for zombies, or barricading themselves in bunkers, your child is going to get a Halloween experience unlike any other!
