  • If you have little ones, consider bringing a stroller or wagon. Although the trail isn’t paved, it is still a smooth enough ride for them.
  • The trail is about an hour long, so make sure to use the restroom before you begin.
  • Bring bug spray! You are walking through an actual forest and mosquitos are out. If you forget, the store sells a bug spray stick.
  • If there is scattered rain/snow, the event will still go on. If the weather is more severe, they will notify you that it has been postponed and offer alternative dates or a refund.
  • Families are encouraged to dress up in costume or deck themselves out in glow sticks and glow-in-the-dark items.
