I’;m not sure if a Chuck E. Cheese pizza before or after trick or treating is a good idea, or just too much for an already busy day. I can, however, see the value in letting kids work out there post-Halloween let-down and sugar-high somewhere other than my living room. Chuck E. Cheese has a bunch of coupons for free tokens or pizza/drink/tokens deals that expire Nov 2, so if you think you can work in a Chuck E. Cheese visit this weekend, download these first.

On Halloween, the Toys R Us store (at 2705 Santa Rosa Ave in Santa Rosa) will host a free afternoon of in-store trick-or-treating from noon-3 pm.  Kids age 3 & up in costume will receive a reusable trick-or-treating bag, which they can fill up with free treats (while supplies last) while they parade around the store with Geoffrey the Giraffe.
