Thursday evenings in October: BOOtanical Experience sponsored by Ferguson Subaru
Throw on your favorite costume and join us Thursday evenings in October as the Children’s Discovery Garden transforms into an enchanting garden for a BOOtanical Experience! Families can stroll through the lighted pathways and past non-spooky decorations to visit BOOtanical booths with games, crafts and more!
With a ticket to BOOtanical, each child gets a wristband and bag for carrying their crafts and prizes. Each child participating in BOOtanical Experience will need a BOOtanical ticket in addition to a regular admission ticket.
BOOtanical Experiences are rain or shine! Come dressed for weather. If needed, we will move activities inside our Mabee Grange building.
