Hall-Oween: Bewitching Hour
Join us for a strolling costume party filled with tricks and treats for Hall-Oween: Bewitching Hour. Enjoy candy, popcorn and a cash bar in an enchanted – or accursed? – setting. Where will you be when darkness falls? What lurks in the mansion’s dark corners? Will you mingle with monsters? Gossip with a ghost?
Hall-Oween: Bewitching Hour promises grown-up trick-or-treating, signature cocktails (Poisoned Apple Punch, anyone?), spooky snacks and all the atmosphere of a ghostly gathering. Bring a date or friends and follow our lighted woodland path over the bridge and stop at stations for mysterious thrills and chills. Guests are encouraged to dress up in costume for this fun Halloween-themed evening experience. It’s an eerie extravaganza that offers a fang-tastic chance to be your most glamorous or ghoulish self.
Our Hall-oween: Bewitching Hour will be too dreadfully delightful to miss!
