Species Spooktacular | Afternoon

Tickets can be purchased at our Welcome Booth day of the event. (Online ticket sales have ended.)

It’s the time of year when the haunts come out to play at the Center. You can come in costume to learn about some of nature’s spooky and misunderstood animals! We’ll dispel myths about them and share their ecological importance. Meet live animal ambassadors in our Great Hall, including snakes, tarantulas, turtles, and raptor ambassadors! Also vote for your favorite of our costumed taxidermy animals. Hike our trails, stopping at the pavilion, tower, and maple grove to play games and make crafts. After visiting all of the stations, children will receive a sweet treat! 

Arrive anytime within the 3-hour session and go at your own pace on this self-guided adventure. When you arrive, check in at the Stone Bench to receive your spooky station guide! This event will take place indoors and outdoors, rain or shine. 

Adult: $16 per person | Youth (3-17): $12 per person | Children 2 & under are free – no ticket needed
