Description

Put on a costume and explore Northwest Trek Wildlife Park at twilight during Hoot ‘N’ Howl weekends in October. Guests can walk Northwest Trek’s lit-up animal paths and try to find all eight trick-or-treat stations, play games like pumpkin checkers and tic tac toe, and snap spooky photos. Be sure to listen for nighttime animal noises (did you hear that howl?) and meet the barn owl, raccoons, or beavers and their keepers. Plus, learn about all things creepy and crawly, like a gopher snake, Pacific tree frog, or rough-skinned newt or join naturalists to learn about the amazing wild bats that roam the night sky near the wildlife park. Be sure to put your skills to the test: can you identify nocturnal animals by their sound? Would you be able to escape a spider in a large spider web? Is your sense of smell as good as an elk’s? And be sure to check out the nature-inspired playground where kids can climb like a spider, swoop like a bat, and do freaky food science (6:15pm and 7:15pm nightly).

Oct. 14, Oct. 15, Oct. 21, Oct. 22 from 5pm-9pm. Last entry at 8pm.
