Scooby and Friends

These meddling kids get to check out haunted mansions and ghosts with the Mystery Machine®. We took a shaded area in the garden with mulch and added a worn out aquarium castle that looks haunted. We added a picnic with Scooby snacks, a sign and some zombies. Just like that it’s mystery time. All of the elements of the garden fit in the Mystery Machine so set up and pick up is simple. Zonkies, this looks really fun.
