Asbury Woods presents the 25th annual Scary Creature Feature from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10 through Saturday, October 12. The event is held at the Asbury Woods Nature Center, 4105 Asbury Road.
Scary Creature Feature is a fall, family event complete with hayride, donuts and cider, activities, storytelling and a guided walk through the woods where guests encounter and learn about some not-so-scary, nocturnal creatures that live in the forest. It’s the perfect chance to explore the woods at night and enjoy the cool, crisp air of an autumn evening.
This year, organizers have revamped the tour to showcase different parts of the trails during our guided walks. In addition visitors won't want to miss the new “scary” creature feature, the Luna Moth! This moth is another native nocturnal species highlighted on the tour along with the owl, spider, skunk, salamander, and bat.
Other activities to enjoy:
- Hay wagon ride
- Cider and donuts
- Activities for children
- Science demonstrations with the Asbury Woods "Mad Scientist"
- Seasonal pumpkin light display
- Campfire and storytelling
- Scarecrow Alley walk through trail
