 Everyone loves to get outside and do special fall family activities in October, and we are glad that people have come to love our late October programs at Sheep Pasture! Here at NRT, we want to help your family make fantastic autumn memories at our Sheep Pasture SPOOKTACULAR. We have taken the best of our Pumpkin event, Spooktacular Science Night, and Family Hayrides and added even MORE activities for a bigger and better celebration! A combined admission for all activities will be a great value, too!

Limited free parking is available at the Sheep Pasture property. Parking and event admission are space dependent and may be closed before 7 pm if necessary for safety of all staff and visitors. For everyone's safety, pets of any kind are also not allowed on the Sheep Pasture grounds during the Spooktacular event. ** All give away items, including grab bags, pumpkins, or other items, are while supplies last only and may have limited availability, depending on attendance. Activities listed are as planned and may be changed without notice. 

Activities scheduled for 2017 included:
Family hayrides throughout the event
Hayrides will be scheduled during the Spooktacular in both daylight and dark. Enjoy an afternoon ride through the beautiful fall foliage, or join us after dark for a fun ride through nature under the stars. This will be a family-friendly hayride, with no spooky costumed characters, frightening effects,  or scary scenes, even during the hayrides in the dark. This is not a "haunted" hayride. Hayrides last 10-15 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! Last hayride begins approximately 15 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.
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 20 minute hike into the dark on the Rhododendron Trail or other Sheep Pasture paths and learn how to explore the dark with your senses. Hike will be accessible and appropriate for children and adults of all ages. Night Hikes will be scheduled at times throughout the evening and a schedule will be posted at the event.
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 learn what makes each one special. A great chance to get up close with biofacts!
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.
*While supplies last.
Arts and Crafts Stations
"Make and take" fall arts and crafts activities will be available for visitors of all ages. 

​For everyone's safety, please note that pets will not be allowed at the SPOOKTACULAR event or on the hayride. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times during the Spooktacular. No children who are unattended will be allowed admission.
