Help us light up the night when you bring your jack-o-lantern to Halloween Hikes and Hayrides! This year, we’re transforming the Widener Trail into a living gallery of glowing jack-o-lanterns.
Have you ever wanted to ask a possum why they play dead? Or perhaps you’re wondering what a fox really has to say? Join our environmental educators on a guided hike along the trail to meet some of our favorite nocturnal friends and get your questions answered, straight from the fox’s mouth! Flashlights encouraged.
Join our Land & Facilities team for a ride around the Schuylkill Center and get a unique angle of the forest on the back of our tractor for this classic family hayride. Keep an eye out for nighttime creatures! They are extra curious this time of year.
Get ready for Halloween with some special nature crafts. Craft your very own magic wand or make a custom trick-or-treating bag with decorations from the forest and fields of the Schuylkill Center.
If you’re hungry or thirsty, we’ll have plenty of options. Each ticket purchased comes with a s’mores kit for roasting by the fire. Concessions include popcorn, hot chocolate, drinks from Yard’s Beer Garden, and exciting options from local food truck vendors:
