Dress up your little ghosts, goblins, and garden creatures and join us for a Halloween adventure through the garden! Follow the trick-or-treat trail to discover the spookier side of nature, stopping along the way to learn fascinating facts about plants and collect nature-based treats and surprises.
Along the route, visit interactive Discovery Tables and get an up-close look at some of nature’s most misunderstood creatures. Meet hissing cockroaches, spiders, snakes, earthworms, explore bones and skulls, and more as Arboretum Educators reveal why these creepy creatures are actually far more fa-boo-lous than frightening!
Each family will receive a Trick-or-Treat Trail Map filled with educational information to guide your adventure, and each registered child will receive a bag for collecting their treats along the way. Costumes are encouraged!
