Campfires & Critters

Friday, October 24 • 6:00-8:30 pm
Families with children ages 5+

Gather around the campfire to toast s’mores and listen to festive (but not-too-spooky) tales. Step inside the Creepy Critter Mansion to meet a live owl and get an up-close look at snakes, insects, and other night crawlers. Take a closer look at real animal furs, feathers, and bones, then go on a short evening stroll along an eerie wooded trail. Halloween costumes encouraged!
