Don’t fret about loading up the car with the kids and bringing them to this haunted park. Halloween Fest at Adler Park is definitely age-appropriate and without the usual Halloween thrills. Sure, a ghastly-looking creature hiding behind some shrubbery, ready to pop out any minute is fun occasionally, but that occasion generally takes place around the age of 15. For the younger set, or just the faint of heart, come prepared to take a hayride through the park, listen to storytellers dish spooky tales and engage in a plethora of games. Sounds like a grand preview to next week’s main event. 6 to 8 p.m. p.m. Friday, Adler Park, 1500 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville. $5 per car; 847-362-2430 or www.libertyville.com.
