It's the countdown to Halloween.
Some of you might be making some last minute adjustments to your child's costume before the big candy spree, so safety might be on the back of your mind.
There are places to take your kids to have a safe and fun trick or treating experience.
Right now, Spookyville -- which is in its 17th consecutive year at the South Florida Fairgrounds -- is gearing up for their last night on Tuesday night. Hundreds of kids and their parents are expected to come through the grounds for a safer alternative for trick or treating.
Spookyville organizers say it's important for parents to have options outside of their neighborhood.
"We used to always know our neighbors. We knew who lived next door to us. When I was a child, that was the only option that I had. But nowadays, things have changed, so parents want to be comfortable and they want to know where they're taking their child is going to be a good experience," said Vickie Chouris, COO of the South Florida Fairgrounds.
