Not-So-Scary Halloween at the River Center!

Friday, October 23 6pm-8pm Register here Join us for our second EVER Halloween event at Railroad Bridge Park! It will be a night full of learning, adventure, and fall fun for the whole family. The festivities kick off at 6 PM. There will be a costume parade, nature-inspired games, fall crafts, sweet treats, a photobooth, and a flashlight hike through the forest trails. Plus, visit the Exhibit Room, where some of our animals will be getting into the spirit with their own costumes! Admission is $8 for adults, kids $4, ages one and under are free. All crafts and games included! What to expect: 🔦 Flashlight Forest Detective When we shine our flashlights into the forest, sometimes it looks like the trees are sprinkled with tiny little stars. But those aren’t stars—they’re the glowing eyes of animals! Grab your flashlight and your sense of adventure, and join us for a magical evening walk in the woods near the River Center. Note: there will be a Not-So-Scary and a Kind-of-Scary trail option this year! 🎨 Fall Craft Station Get creative with wooden ornament painting. Choose from pumpkins, bats, fall leaves, and more! You get to keep what you create. 🦇 Bat & Moth Game A Halloween twist on Marco Polo! One child plays the bat, trying to locate the “moth” using only sound. It’s a fun and active way to learn about echolocation. 🧪 Dry Ice Experiments “Boo Bubbles” are fun, spooky science bubbles you can create with dry ice. When you pop them, a little cloud of white smoke bursts out. Dress in your best costume, bring a flashlight and your best dance moves, and prepare for a fun night at the River Center!
