There’s a cauldronful of fun brewing this weekend, with many frights and delights on offer to thrill your fam. Think chocolate, cats and ice cream! After all the shivers, warm your bellies at the best Asian restaurants in town. If these times are a little too wild for your crew, consult our list of activities for families with sensory sensitivities. Plus, when the sun breaks through, make a beeline to the playground of the week.
