The Battery is hosting its Great Fall Festival on Sunday, October 25, from 2 to 5 p.m. with free admission. The attraction for kids is a truck-or-treat featuring decorated or specialty vehicles and candy. More than twenty local vendors and other family activities are also advertised.
An outdoor screening of Minions & Monsters is planned afterward on the Plaza Green. That makes it possible to combine a short afternoon visit with a movie without buying separate admission tickets. Parking may still cost money, and the movie’s precise start should be checked with the venue.
This is an easy choice if you want a family outing with lots of things to see but do not want to drive far into the suburbs. Bring a treat bag, check parking validation options and decide whether to stay for the movie.
What to do: Check Sunday’s 2–5 p.m. free Battery fall festival and movie schedule; budget for possible parking.
