Our ArBOOretum Halloween event is back again! Come in Costume! Kids can explore the spooky mansion, trick or treat around the gardens, have their faces painted, listen to creepy music and more! Learn about Bats, Owls, Spiders & other Nocturnal Wildlife with DNR Naturalists. Live raptors and reptiles from Carrie Murray Nature Center!

Grab a bite from El Gringo and Wilde Thyme Food Trucks with seasonal items, hot soups, apple rings, pumpkin beignets as well as hot cider and hot cocoa!

*It gets super dark at the arboretum. If you have little ones we recommend coming at the start of the event when there's still light out. The sun will set at 6:15pm.*

$15/child (suggested age 3 - 12). Adult family members and friends free.

Adults coming on your own are welcome, but we ask to consider a donation if attending!

Limited, but free parking available in the visitor lot next to the Vollmer Visitor center.

Thank you to T. Rowe Price for sponsoring the event!
