New this year, the Morris Arboretum has more ways to celebrate Halloween beyond its month-long Scarecrow Walk (Almanac September 8, 2020).

Visitors are invited to nighttime events that are safe, fun, and just a little spooky.

Ghostly Gathering at Morris ArBOOretum, Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31 from 5-8 p.m., invites visitors to come costumed and ready for fun at the Morris Arboretum’s first ever Halloween nighttime events. The Arboretum is giving out trick-or-treat bags to fill, reading scary stories, hosting fun games, and lighting up the Fairy Tale Scarecrows for nighttime viewing. Every activity will be appropriately distanced—and you’ll already be wearing a mask!

Advance tickets required. Register at: morrisarb.org/halloween. Member Adult: $15; Member Youth: $8; Non-Member Adult: $20; Non-Member Youth: $10

For more Halloween fun, join adult friends for The Witching Hour on Sunday, November 1, from 6-9 p.m.

Come costumed (or not) and enjoy the Morris Arboretum as it’s rarely seen–after dark– at this Halloween event for adults on Sunday, November 1 from 6-9 p.m. Enjoy the garden’s eerie ambience with the scarecrows lit up for the night, tarot readings, Quizzo, and pumpkin smashing! Beer and light snacks available for purchase.
