Also play games, make crafts and get your face painted while visiting the Woodlands Nature Station Backyard, included with admission. Trail tickets go on sale at noon and cost $5 per person ages 5 and up, free for ages 4 and under. Nation Station admission is included with purchase. First guided tour leaves at 1 p.m.; last tour leaves at 4 p.m.
“Howl-O-Ween is a fun event for kids of all ages. It offers a great way for families to spend time together while enjoying a lighthearted outdoor experience,” said Monica West, Nature Station naturalist. “This year we have some of your favorite costumed storybook characters here to tell you the ‘real’ story. Did the Wolf really eat Little Red Riding Hood’s Grandma? Come and find out.”
Nature Station volunteer guides take guests on a 1/4 -mile hike during this non-scary daytime event all about fairy tales. Kids collect goodies on the way. Costumes are welcomed and encouraged. Other activities include crafts, face painting, games, and learning about the magic of wildlife at Land Between the Lakes.
