Dickinson County Nature Center Hosting Howlin' Halloween Hike

(Okoboji)--Families are invited to enjoy an entertaining night at the Dickinson County Nature Center’s Howlin’ Halloween Hike-Spooky Sidekicks on Friday, October 23rd from 5to 7 p.m.

 

Several hike times will be offered, where families will make several stops to watch educational skits performed by volunteer actors to learn about animals that sometimes get a spooky reputation. The hike is designed to be fun and welcoming for children, rather than scary.

 

Before or after their hike, families can explore activity stations at the Nature Center. They can meet a live snake, search the Nature Playscape in a scavenger hunt, and turn in a completed hunt card for a prize. Children can also dig through Halloween slime for toys, play a game of Frog and Toad Toss, and make a beaded snake to take home.

 

Families will meet at the nature center for the hike time they registered for from the following choices:  5:15; 5:30; 5:45 or 6:00 p.m.
