Hoot & Howl Nature Prowl: Trick-or-Treat Trail

Come celebrate Halloween at the Nature Center of Cape May with some not-so-spooky fun for the whole family! Swing by for a howling good time, including sweet treats, live-animal encounters, and spooky surprises. Stop by anytime 6pm-8pm. It is free to explore the nature center, and we will have various activities for ghouls and ghosts of all ages. Trick-or-treat trail is $10 a person, and you must reserve a timeslot ahead of time. Costumes encouraged! Children must be accompanied by an adult for all activities. 

Here’s what we have brewing: 

Hoot & Howl Trick-or-Treat Trail- Take a prowl down our decorated nature trail. Meet some misunderstood nocturnal critters, learn about their lives, and collect candy along the way! Keep your eyes peeled for owls and bats swooping overhead. 

Animal Artifact Graveyard- Peek into the past and explore real bones and artifacts from local animals. 

Pumpkin Painting and Children’s Crafts- Paint-your-own pumpkin to take home! Suggested $5 donation. 

Moth Sheet Station- Check out our moth sheeting station to see what creepy crawly critters come out after dark. 

Campfire and Treats- Sip on complimentary hot chocolate by the fire. Smore’s kits are offered for sale. (Weather permitting, while supplies last). Bring your own blanket!
