Swamp Haunted Hikes
Designed especially for younger children as a non-scary alternative to commercial haunted houses, this evening event lets visitors explore the swamp along an educational trail to learn about snakes, insects, rats, and other critters. Participants can track down costumed characters to collect treasures before trekking through a Haunted Maze. The maze area features spooky carnival games, a Creepy Cavern, and themed arts and crafts.
