Ghosts, ghouls, goblins, swamp monsters and many of their gruesome friends will inhabit the 12-acre park at Clark Botanic Garden for the Town of North Hempstead’s popular Spooky Walk on Friday, Oct. 23, and Saturday, Oct. 24, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
The event is expected to draw thousands of visitors, who will experience a smoggy, spine-tingling walk through the realm of fear and fright that will be Clark Botanic Garden. The cost of admission is $5 per person.
On Oct. 24, telescopes, exhibits and hands-on activities will be provided for star gazing children by Hofstra University’s Astronomy Outreach Program in partnership with the Amateur Observer’s Society of New York. Equipment is funded through a NASA astronomy outreach grant to Hofstra University and will allow children to see close-up views of the planets, and colorful double stars.
Spooky Walk may not be suitable for young children, and minors must be accompanied by an adult. Younger children can enjoy the Not-So-Spooky-Walk on Sunday, Oct. 25, from 12 to 4 p.m. Not-So-Spooky-Walk’s price of admission is $3 per person.
Featuring more than 12-acres of planted, well-manicured grounds, Clark Botanic Garden, located at 193 I.U. Willets Road in Albertson, is the perfect setting for North Hempstead’s ultra-popular annual Halloween extravaganza.
