Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve Announces Return of Family-Friendly Spooky Science Event
This October, Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve will host its much-anticipated Spooky Science event—a family-oriented festival that artfully integrates scientific discovery with Halloween-themed festivities. Set to take place from 5 PM to 9 PM on October 17, 18, 24, and 25, this immersive experience will invite families to explore a world of interactive science in a uniquely festive atmosphere.
Located at 11929 Beech St NE in Alliance, Ohio, the Beech Creek Botanical Garden has established itself as a premier venue for educational and recreational activities. Spooky Science promises to engage participants of all ages with a variety of hands-on activities designed to ignite curiosity. Highlights include bubbling potions, the exploration of creepy creatures, and luminescent trails that guide families through the garden’s enchanting landscape. Attendees will have the opportunity to experiment with science-themed stations while walking through the garden by flashlight, appropriately set for the Halloween spirit.
In addition to its creative interactive offerings, Spooky Science will feature themed events on specific nights. For instance, Astronomy Night on October 18 will provide an engaging exploration of the night sky, while a costume contest on October 24 intends to celebrate creativity and Halloween spirit. On the final evening, October 25, families can participate in trick-or-treating, offering an additional layer of festive fun for younger guests.
“We’re so excited to bring this fan-favorite back,” remarked Eric Ginanni, marketing director for Beech Creek. “Spooky Science is the perfect mix of education, imagination, and Halloween fun.” This statement underscores the event’s dual focus on enriching educational experiences while ensuring a lighthearted, enjoyable environment for families.
