Spooktober

Celebrate the Halloween season all October long at Thanksgiving Point with Spooktober! Each of our venues will be spookily decorated for the season, creating the perfect backdrop for family fun. Kids of all ages can enjoy pumpkin-themed scavenger hunts, festive Daily STEM Discovery programs, and more throughout the month.

On select dates, families are invited to wear their costumes and join our Spooktober Costume Parties for hands-on activities, prizes, and extra Halloween fun. From dinosaurs at night to barnyard adventures, there’s something for every little ghost and goblin.

Frights Included With Admission

Bats, spiders, and creepy crawlies come out to play during our Creatures of the Night costume parties at the Butterfly Biosphere! Cheer on your favorite creepy crawler in roach races, watch tarantula feedings, and explore the world of nocturnal critters up close.

Join the Arachnid Eyes Scavenger Hunt to find nine tiny pumpkins with spider-inspired faces hidden in the Biosphere and earn a small prize. At 7:45 pm, end the evening with a lively Costume Dance Party the whole family will enjoy.
