Trick-or-Treat Along the Trail

REGISTER HERE

Celebrate Halloween with fun, safe and non-scary trick-or-treating in the park for the whole family! Follow the path of pumpkins along our festive trail to find fall-themed photo opportunities and more. Who knows which costumed characters you might find along the way? Dress in your costume and bring your candy bucket to collect goodies – adults too!

Each household will start the trick-or-treat fun at slightly staggered times within their registered timeslot. This event occurs entirely at the North Hickory Ridge picnic area- not the Kensington Nature Center. See https://www.metroparks.com/kensington-metropark/#parkmaps for directions. This program is part festive, part educational and all fun. Best suited for early elementary kids and their families.

What to Expect:

This program is entirely outdoors. Time will be spent on a leisurely walk with frequent stops. Our walk will be about ¼ mile, will be a round-trip, and will conclude at the Hickory Ridge parking lot. The path is grassy lawn, dirt and gravel and covers flat areas as well as moderately hilly ground. No prior experience is necessary, and a group interactivity or game with instructions will be involved. Weather-appropriate costumes are encouraged as this event takes place all outdoors, rain or shine.

Ages: Fun for all ages! Children must be accompanied by a registered adult.

Time: Multiple timeslots available.

Cost: $5 per child, $5 per adult, children under 2 are free!

Location: Kensington Metropark, North Hickory Ridge picnic area

Pre-registration is required by 4 p.m. the day before the program.
