Halloween can be magical in NYC with over-the-top decorations and plenty of family-friendly events, but little revelers are often overwhelmed by its trappings. With that in mind, we've tracked down a bunch of Halloween events perfect for preschoolers, which deliver just the right amount of "treats" for the pint-sized crowd.

Enjoy these gentle Halloween events while you can—your kids will be celebrating at the Village Halloween Parade before you know it. You can find more festive happenings for all age groups in our Halloween Fun Guide, and our Activity Calendar, which is continually updated with new, fun events as we find out about them.
