Description
Bring the family for a nature-themed Halloween at the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary. This charming, not-so-spooky event invites visitors to take a hoot-i-ful woodland walk and learn about nocturnal (costumed) animals that live at the sanctuary.
After a guided walk along the sanctuary's lantern-lit trails, step into the Chamber of Nature Curiosities, where knowledgeable nature guides help you explore our collections of natural history specimens and meet live raptors in our Nature Classroom. Head to the barn for Halloween-themed crafts, games, and freshly popped popcorn. Hand-carved glowing jack-o'-lanterns will light up the night. This is the Halloween event the whole family has been waiting for.
