Kids of all ages love the Halloween season -- the air is crisp, the leaves are turning colors and the promise of costumed ghosts and ghouls is just around the corner. What better way to enjoy the season than at the Springs Preserve during our Haunted Harvest?
Enjoy the Springs Preserve and celebrate the harvest with our narrated Haunted Hay Ride, Garden Tricks and season-themed Cafe Treats from 5 to 9 p.m. on the following dates:
Oct. 29 to 31 (Thursday-Saturday)
The Gardens will glow and fog over with the season's traditions. Put on your costume* for "Safe Street" trick-or-treating, glowing entertainment, carnival games, face painting, creepy characters and an all-ages, family-friendly, spooky atmosphere. And, on top of everything else, see the winners of our second annual, community-wide Scavenger Scarecrow Contest!
* For safety reasons, adults are not permitted to wear masks at the Haunted Harvest.
Spooky myths and legends abound on a Haunted Hay Ride along the Springs Preserve trails. Narrated by our very own “Ol’ Miner,” kids of all ages will enjoy the surprises, thrills and chills on this 20-minute ride into the past. The cost is $5 per adult rider, $3 for children 5 to 12 and free for children 4 and younger. Due to high demand for the hay rides, we recommend buying your tickets in advance.
Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for children 5 to 12 and free those 4 and under. Members receive half off the regular admission price. To purchase your tickets go to: www.springspreserve.org
