We are back for our family-friendly fall fun!-Saturday & Sunday, October 18-19 & 25-26, 10:00am-3:00pm
-Ideal for families with children aged 1-10
-General admission applies, but children in costume are FREE
-Average visit time: 1 to 1.5 hours
What to expect:
There are plenty of spiders, bats, owls, crows, scary plants and even skeletons at the Botanical Garden all fall, so we don't even need to decorate... although we might just a little bit - because it's fun!
This is a non-scary Hallowe'en event (no jump scares, no "gore") Our goal is to have fun while learning all about the nature-based symbols that are used during Hallowe'en. Lots of hands-on fun for everyone!
All activities are self directed:
- Find the Hallowe'en symbols on the forest trail
- Challenge a friend to the Owl Quiz
- Count the different witches on the boardwalk trail
- Jump in the leaf pile in the large Gazebo
- Follow the Scarecrows to see what they are spelling in the garden trails
- Count all the Pumpkins in the veggie patch
- Purchase some spooky treats from the Witches hut.
- Listen to our favourite Hallowe'en & fall story books in the greenhouse
- Brave the Bone Yard to see all the different skeletons
- Play a Hallowe'en game or two in the centre garden area
- Boldly walk through our (pretend) Bat Tunnel
- Sneak through the Spider Web Obstacle Course
- Create some themed crafts in the display room
ALSO:
Participate in the indoor scavenger hunt. All participants will receive a small prize.
Adults can enjoy reading all about our scary plants on the Poisonous Plant Tour. Grab a brochure at the desk and find the plants that have been identified in the gardens with a tombstone.
