Family-Friendly Halloween Events in Mercer County NJ
Nature of the Night Halloween Hike & Campfire
October 28 2017
6:00-8:15pm
$18 per person / $15 for members.
Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Reserve
31 Titus Mill Road
Pennington NJ
Imagine walking through the woods on a crisp autumn night; the trail is lit with hundreds of glowing Jack O’ Lanterns, along the way you stop to meet the characters in a drama that unfolds along the path. Since 1987, children have marveled at the adventures of Stingy Jack and the first Jack O’Lantern, an original drama now brought to its new home at the Watershed Reserve. While other Halloween programs are designed to frighten, the goal of this Halloween night hike is to educate and enchant. Guided hikes begin every 15 minutes; last hike begins at 8:15 PM. Space is limited in each hike; pre-registration and pre-payment are required.
