Haunted Hike & Hayride is a 20 Minute Guided Walk through the Douglas-Hart Nature Center where you will encounter several costumed characters and stations for the theme:\u00a0 FRIGHT NIGHT!\u00a0 End the walk with a haunted hayride back to the visitor center.\u00a0 5-6 pm (kids can dress up and scare our characters).\u00a0 6-8pm (It’s scary out there! Lots of jump scares, screaming, and lights).<\/p>\n

Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17, from 5:00 – 8:00 pm<\/p>\n

Visit: https:\/\/www.dhnature.org\/hauntedhike.html<\/p>\n

Purchase tickets at the door (Unless you are a DHF member; you may purchase pre-sale tickets) $10 per person, 2 and under are free.<\/p>\n

Groups are capped at around 15 people for a better experience and leave every 5 minutes! (If you have a large group, please be prepared to be split into multiple groups!)<\/p>\n

While you wait, enjoy snacks like popcorn and cider, OR chill by the campfire (favorable weather conditions only), take photos with our photo booth props or characters, and more, all in the outdoor classroom.<\/p>\n

The hike and hayride are all outdoors; please dress accordingly.<\/p>\n

During the hike, you can expect jump scares, screams, flashing lights, strobes, decorated trails, decorated stations, costume characters, sound effects, loud noises, and more.\u00a0 The hike lasts approximately 20 minutes and traverses 1\/2 mile, followed by a 10-minute hayride back to the visitor center and parking lot.<\/p>\n

5:00 – 5:40pm is Reverse Scares<\/strong>.\u00a0 Children attending are encouraged to dress up and scare the characters on the trails! Groups departing after 5:45 may complete some of the hike during the scare times starting at 6pm.\u00a0 At that time, our volunteers begin scaring patrons.<\/p>\n

While this is a family-friendly event, nighttime hikes can be quite scary for children.\u00a0 Plan accordingly – you know your child best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
