Park After Dark
Join us at Bays Mountain Park for Park After Dark, a Halloween-themed night packed with spooky adventures, nighttime discoveries and plenty of family-friendly fun. Take a sunset barge ride across the lake, explore the stars during Starwatch, and experience a spectacular Halloween-themed laser show in the Planetarium. A food vendor will also be on-site serving up delicious refreshments for the whole family to enjoy.
Visit the animal habitats for a unique trick-or-treating experience with our animal ambassadors, then get creative by painting your own Halloween pumpkin to take home. Finally, gather at the wolf habitat to hear about wolf folklore, and end the night with a howl! With glowing stars, spooky sights, and plenty of Halloween surprises, there’s something for everyone to enjoy after dark at Bays Mountain!
Come in costume, bring your flashlight, and get ready for a night of Halloween fun in the great outdoors!
