Get into the Halloween spirit by joining the New Canaan Nature Cener for this spooktacular celebration, NCNC-style. Learn about and meet some creepy critters who remind us of All Hallows Eve (spiders, bats, snakes, & more), before getting the chance to make your very own slime. The evening will wrap up by enjoying a spooky & interactive Halloween story and a one-of-a-kind jack-o-lantern experience.
