Enjoy Halloween in nature at Wehr’s Special 38th Edition of Halloween Haunts. Halloween Haunts combines the make-believe, spooky fun of Halloween with the beauty of nighttime nature to create a unique event for the whole family. For three nights each year, Wehr’s woodland is transformed into an Enchanted Forest complete with a cackling witch, a talking owl, and even some rapping arthropods. Visitors are amazed by the more than three hundred Jack-o-lanterns that light the path through the forest. The walk is just spooky enough to keep kids (and kids at heart) on their toes but, is designed to create chuckles and smiles, not nightmares.
The program runs rain or shine. There are no refunds for inclement weather.
