To get into the holiday spirit, children are invited to wear their Halloween costumes for an afternoon of family-friendly scares set in the winding nature trails of Friendship Botanic Gardens. There will be trick-or-treating stations located along the Haunted Trails loop, temporary tattoos and games. A Best Costume Contest for kids will be held near the Symphony Garden at 3 p.m. Special prizes will be given out for the 10 best costumes. 

Come any time between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and children age 13 and over; admission is $2 for children ages 2 to 12. Kids ages 0-1 are free. Tickets are available at the door the day of the event, cash or card. Cash preferred for speedier entrance. Please use the main entrance off of Highway 12. 

Thank you to Lochner Engineering for partnering with Friendship Botanic Gardens to make this event possible.
