Psst…how excited are you that the spookiest season of the year has arrived? Have you already started decorating, sipping pumpkin-spice latte, and burning pumpkin-flavored candles? If you have then you’re probably already working on filling your autumn calendar. Consider adding a Halloween hike at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve in Pittsburgh to your list of activities this fall.
Bring the whole family along for an autumn evening of fun at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve’s “Creatures of the Night,” a fun and educational hike, on select evenings in mid-October.
Add another level of fun to the evening by having the whole family dress in their Halloween costumes. Just make sure everyone’s wearing comfy shoes for this “non-scary” hike.
Fireflies and the glow of the moon will help illuminate the darkened path that’s dotted with surprises. A Great Horned Owl, for example, will tell tales of the season.
You’ll also run across other life-sized costumed creatures, including a Flying Squirrel who amazes with acrobats and an adorable Little Brown Bat. You might even meet a real animal or two.
Creatures of the Night will be held on select evenings with three session times – 6:30 p.m., 7 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. – each evening. You must register in advance for the event that costs $6 for members and $10 for non-members. Kiddos younger than two are free.
