Spooktacular events include:

Family hayrides throughout the event
Hayrides will be scheduled during the Spooktacular in both daylight and dusk. Enjoy an afternoon ride through the beautiful fall foliage, or join us after dark for a fun ride through nature after the sun goes down. This will be a family-friendly hayride, with no spooky costumed characters, frightening effects,  or scary scenes. This is not a "haunted" hayride. Hayrides last about 10 minutes and take place completely on the grounds of Sheep Pasture's paths and fields. The only glowing eyes you may see will be the reflections of the deer or other wildlife who may watch the hay wagon as it passes by! The line for hayrides will be closed approximately 30 minutes before the end of the event. Families may ride the hayride as many times as they wish, but must get in line each time.
Please note that hay rides are weather and ground condition dependent and may be cancelled at any time for safety reasons due to weather or trail conditions at the time of the event.

Fire Pit Station 
Spend time by the fire while you relax with friends on a beautiful fall afternoon and evening.
Nature Hikes at Sheep Pasture
For those adventurous visitors, join an NRT educator on a 15-20 minute hike into the woods on the Rhododendron Trail or other Sheep Pasture paths and learn how to explore the world with your senses. Hike will be accessible and appropriate for children and adults of all ages. A schedule for hikes will be posted at the Spooktacular.
Face Painting Station
Have a good time becoming a lion, a mouse, or just adding some artwork to your cheeks! Use our supplies to create a fun new look to celebrate fall.
Skull Station
Come explore NRT's collection of animal skulls and biofacts, and learn what makes each one special. A great chance to get up close to learn about animals!
Pumpkin Decoration Station
Use our supplies to create a your own special pumpkin. Families can bring their own, or additional pumpkins will also be offered for sale for a small fee during the event*. A "pumpkin parking area" will be available for decorated pumpkins while guests participate in other activities.
