These Halloween Events in Greenville are Perfect for Babies & Toddlers

Looking for some Halloween events for toddlers in Greenville, SC? Or maybe some Halloween events for babies?

We at Kidding Around Greenville think we can help. Here’s a list of costume-happy activities without late hours or spooky décor. They are the perfect formula for toddlers and babies! Besides, we all need another excuse to coo over our little skunks and dragons.

Ticketed Trick-or-Treating for Small Fries

Boo in the Zoo

Possibly the most well-known local Halloween event, Boo in the Zoo, is a kid-friendly path through the zoo. Twenty treat spots await you! Your baby’s or toddler’s jack-o-lantern will be stocked. While it’s unlikely you’ll see many animals out in their enclosures, the reptile house and all restrooms are open. The Greenville Zoo does a terrific job decorating the grounds in a kid-friendly way and provides popular character experiences and photo opportunities. Dress up and enjoy! Buy tickets in advance or at the gate.

“Autumn Harvest” at the TD Saturday Market

The last Saturday in October, the TD Saturday Market continues an adorable tradition of kids’ costumes, trick-or-treating, games, and a costume contest. The morning timing for trick-or-treating is miraculous, you must agree. Perfect for the small fries! Bring along your reusable shopping bags to stock up on autumn produce and artisan wares while your costumed kidlet is admired. Reference the TD Saturday Market website for the costume contest and group game times.

Side street parking is available for your visit, though we recommend the Richardson Street Garage for easy access to the market.

Not-So-Spooky Spooktacular Trail

October 28, 2023: 3 pm – 5 pm | Not-So-Spooky Spooktacular Trail | Take Heart Church

Adjusting to a new baby is challenging enough, and toddlers can prove unpredictable when out late or off-schedule. You shouldn’t have to miss out on every holiday tradition, though! Kidding Around Greenville hopes that we can play a small part in starting new Halloween family traditions for your growing family. Our own Bethany Winston did the tiresome job of compiling these opportunities, and, boy, are we grateful. Please let us know how it goes, and happy costuming!
