What’s the scariest thing about Halloween? The plants!!! Walk amongst the poisonous plants at the BOO-tanical Garden for lots of family fun and learn why bats, owls, crows, spiders, and even the plants aren’t all that scary once you get to know them. Lots of hands-on fun for everyone!

What can you expect?
Our goal is to have fun while learning all about the nature based symbols that are used in Halloween. This program is ideal for ages 1 - 10, and is a non-scary program (no jump scares, no "gore"; but do expect to see bats, spiders and skeletons!). We do find people of all ages enjoy their visit!
Classroom: crafts & facepainting (by donation).
Display Room: Story time, decorations & information.
The Outdoor Tour: Our tour guides will lead you on a walk to spot some pictures of the signs of Halloween; then head on down to the pond for some duck feeding, walk up the "Batty Bat Trail"; Then follow the Scarecrows to a special destination! Walks usually last 30-45 minutes.
The Scavenger Hunt: Time: TBD. Each day we will hold one scavenger hunt. Find the "special item" and turn it in to win a Family Day Pass, A Season Pass, or Tickets to our Merry & Bright Light Festival!

* Because this is a public event we cannot gurantee that groups will be kept together, or that other members of the public won't join along in the guided tour. Our tours aim to have ~20 people in them, and run every 15-20 minutes, or as there is interest. Aside from the tour and the scavenger hunt, all other activities are ongoing throughtout the day.
The Halloween Howl Program is also available for school and youth group bookings during the month of October.
