Halloween at the Garden

Celebrate Halloween with a spooky afternoon at Queens Botanical Garden! Little ones can show off their costumes, stroll through the trick-or-treat trail, make Halloween crafts, see and learn about our spooky plants, walk with Griot Darlene Deloris for Ankhlave Anansi’s Wisdom of the World Tour, and catch lively performances. There will be a special opportunity to meet The Cat in the Hat’s Thing 1 and Thing 3 along with special giveaways to celebrate the soon-to-be released movie!

Meanwhile, grown-ups can relax with harvest beers and ciders at the bar, enjoy the fall foliage, pose for spooktacular photo opportunities, and join in the festivities. Be sure to check out the bustling vendor fair, where unique finds from local businesses await. It’s the perfect outing for families and fall lovers alike!

Members visit free. $10 Non-Members ($8 children).
