Kids Boo Fest is a family-friendly Halloween-themed event at Six Flags theme parks. It operates during the daytime of select days in the fall season, side-by-side with Fright Fest and the Oktoberfest Food Festival. Activities for kids include hay mazes, pumpkin painting, costume contests, and trick-or-treating.[1]

Following the cancellation of Fright Fest 2020 due to the COVID pandemic, a predecessor to Kids Boo Fest was first tested at Six Flags America in 2021 as BOO By Day, a daytime alternative to Fright Fest 2021 events which may be deemed too frightening for some parkgoers.[2]
