Take a well-deserved Friday evening off while your kids enjoy a supervised night of Halloween fun at Kids Night Out: Spooktacular, taking place on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Fort Hill Activity Center. Hosted by the Naperville Park District for children ages 4 to 12, this popular parent drop-off program turns an ordinary Friday night into an action-packed autumn celebration filled with seasonal games, crafts, active play, and dinner.

What’s Included in the Evening

• Spooky-Themed Games & Crafts: Kids participate in age-appropriate Halloween games, team challenges, and seasonal arts and crafts led by Naperville Park District childcare and recreation staff.
• Indoor Playground & Gym Fun: Participants get active playtime inside Fort Hill Activity Center’s climate-controlled facilities, including The Fort multi-level indoor play area and gymnasium spaces.
• Dinner & Juice Provided: A kid-friendly dinner and juice are included with registration, so parents can drop off their children knowing supper is completely taken care of.
• Parent Night Out Convenience: Running from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the 3-hour window gives parents plenty of time to enjoy a quiet dinner in Downtown Naperville, attend Naper Settlement’s Howlin’ at the Moon (21+) bash, or take a Haunted Historic District Ghost Tour.
