Bring your camera and get some memorable photos!
On select nights, the park holds a Boo Park Bash with trick-or-treating, scavenger hunts, and dance parties! Keep in mind that the Boo Bash tickets are separate from general admission. If you can’t make it during the evening, check out the park during the day. There is tubing, fun carnival rides, and much more!
