Chattahoochee Nature Center to resume Halloween Hikes

Back for its 36th year, for 4 nights only, Halloween Hikes at the Chattahoochee Nature Center provides the perfect non-scary family-friendly holiday event, October 22, 23, and 29, 30 starting at 6PM.

A unique Halloween adventure that will take your child on a well-lit hike through the forest to meet woodland creatures and hear about how they live. Halloween Hikes lets guests connect with nature and experience the mystery of a guided night hike.

Meet costumed characters including everyone’s favorites, the Box Turtle, Red-tailed Hawk, Barred Owl, and Kingfisher during a ~45-minute hike. Each character tells its audience about itself and its place in the Chattahoochee River watershed.

Along with the hikes, there is plenty of fun Halloween happenings during the nights. Wear your costume and join CNC for games, campfire, music, wildlife encounters, and family fun. Camp Kingfisher will have s’more set-ups available for purchase to support the Camp K scholarship fund.

“Halloween Hikes connects people of all ages to nature by experiencing a guided night hike and learning about the Chattahoochee River watershed,” said Tamara Kinmon, Events Director at CNC. “It is so much fun to meet families who have been coming to Halloween Hikes for multiple generations making it a fall tradition. They cannot wait to see their favorite character on the trail!”

CNC has added hike times and reduced the size of the timed group hike to 10 people. Additional center-wide policies and procedures have been implemented to offer the safest and best experience possible.

Advanced ticket sales online starting October 8. CNC members will be able to purchase tickets during the presale starting October 1. Purchasing tickets ahead of time will allow families to select the hike time that works best for them.
