My FavoritesInformation
Fun family fall festival the Sunday before Halloween.
The Haunted Hollow provides a perfect Halloween atmosphere for everyone with a balance of laughs and gasps in a safe and fun environment. Costumes are encouraged. The festivities will go on rain or shine, so we encourage participants to dress accordingly for the day’s weather.
There will be interpretive nature walks, a haunted hay-ride, a portable climbing wall and family games for children of all ages. Participants will also learn about and have the chance to hold snakes, lizards and other “creepy crawlers.” Everything is family friendly and suitable for all ages.
Touch of Nature is wheelchair and stroller-accessible. A parent or guardian must accompany children to the event.
