Botanical Center, Rock Island, holds Not So Scary Halloween Walks

The Quad City Botanical Center will host its ninth annual Not So Scary Halloween Walks Friday-Sunday, Oct. 25-27, from 5:30-8 p.m.

Dress up your little ghosts and goblins for a “Not So Scary” lighted walk through the gardens after dark. Bring your flashlights and explore the nooks and crannies of the Sun Garden, outdoor graveyard pond, and magical fairy garden. New this year, journey through the carnivorous plant zone – featuring oversized, hungry plants. Search for spiders, bats, jack-o-lanterns, and toads as you wander down the darkened pathways.

Get a glimpse of the Halloween train in the popular train garden, tour the mini-spookytown display, and make Halloween crafts. It’s not so scary in the gardens, making this event great for all ages.

On Saturday only, you can BOO-gie down with a special Halloween concert from friends at Common Chord. They will perform two sets that night, at 6 and 7 p.m.

The walk takes place both indoors and outdoors, so dress according to weather and for a walk across the lawn. All children will receive a bag for treat stops throughout the gardens.

General admission cost, free for members. Purchase tickets in advance for your preferred date and arrival time. Walk-ups accepted.

Thursday, Oct. 24 is Members Only night. Explore the full Not So Scary experience, plus member youth will receive a special Members Only night goodie bag, as supplies last. RSVP to attend. Walk-ups accepted. Show membership card at check-in. This includes FunBundle members.
