First of all, don’t even think about looking at this lineup until AFTER Halloween. It’s a quieter weekend in Huntsville, and to be honest, we all need some time to relax and recover from the sugar rush. Has the Halloween Switch Witch visited your house yet? Are you already trying to figure out what to do with all that candy? But there are still a few free and cheap things going on in Huntsville your kids will love if you want to get out of the house and have some fun!

HEADS UP: Sunday is when we all “Fall Back”, so don’t forget to turn your non-digital clocks back before your head hits the pillow Saturday night. Check out these tips to help your kiddo adjust & sleep better.
