Tiger Night of Fun at the University of Missouri- Columbia

Tiger Night of Fun at the Hearnes Center on the campus of the

University of Missouri-Columbia.

Wednesday, October 31 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.

A fun night for the kids this Halloween. All activities are free and designed for kids 6th grade and under. Bring your pirates, princesses and teddy bears for kid's games and goblin treats. Don't forget those trick or treat bags! My kids love this local event. They get to play games to win their prizes (treats) and it is very interactive!

Park and enter on the east side of the Hearnes Center. Plan to be there early if you have little ones and plan on waiting in line for a little bit for the doors to open. The decorations are fabulous and there are some great photo opportunities. Don't forget your camera!

The event is sponsored by the Columbia Parks & Rec, the ARC, Boone Hospital Center, ABC 17, Wal Mart, the Hearnes Center and Soft Rock 101.5 KPLA.

Posted Saturday Oct 27

The sponsors should be commended for supporting this event. I hope the kids enjoy their time.

Hi LeeLee:

We've had our children there when they were less than a year too.  Keep in mind that it does get crowded so the earlier you get there, the less "older" kids are running around.  I would also take a stroller.  They have the front set up with hay bales and decorations and a wonderful place to take some really cute pictures.  Don't plan on staying to long!  May also try going down to The District and hitting a few of the stores down there.  I think the weather is supposed to be pretty nice so a good night for a stroll!!

Also, I know it sounds silly but we are also going to hit HyVee.  They set up trick or treating areas in the different departments.  So in the bakery they'll hand out cookies (duh), produce will hand out fruit, etc. etc.  The kids love it and it is also a pretty good spot if the weather is iffy.

Have fun!
