| Forrest Hills playground (a few blocks north of the Van Ness metro) will do an event on October 26th from 10:00 am to noon. The whole playground is gated. There usually are crafts and a bake sale and a children's entertainer. |

The miniature trains have Halloween themes--not specifically for SN kids:

If it's raining the trains don't run b/c the tracks can't be wet, so call ahead. Basically for these kind of things, I just try to arrive early and not stay too long. Also the Kennedy Center offers sensory performances for some kid friendly performances: http://www.kennedy-center.org/accessibility/services/sensory.html |
