Trick or Treat Row is the sweetest place in the park. Families and friends can stroll to each station knock and say, “trick or treat!” Bring a goodie bag because guest(s) will receive a Halloween treat until supplies last.

The Pumpkin Walk is the spot to boogie down, show-off your Halloween costume, walk, and win a pumpkin if your lucky number is drawn. No experience required.

Spooktaclara guests will get to test their skills and win tasty treats and prizes. Try out the frisbee golf, ring toss, hoop shoot and more. Play and win!

The inflatables area will have multiple sites for guests, slip, slide and race into a beautiful fall day. Guests are asked to wear socks and be safe when playing on the inflatable.

Carnival games will be located in the Meadow and the Slide will be on the Fatjo Field.

Visit the Arts & Crafts booth where young artists, can choose a craft, build and/or coloring Halloween themed crafts.
