Hallowe'en Howl at the Botanical Garden

Families explore self-directed activities throughout the garden trails, greenhouse, and displays without any jump scares or gore. Visitors can brave the Bone Yard skeletons, walk through a pretend bat tunnel, jump into a leaf pile in the gazebo, and navigate a spider web obstacle course. Guests can also enjoy Halloween storybooks in the greenhouse, create themed crafts, and participate in an indoor scavenger hunt.
