- Price
- Timed tickets, price TBA
The Botanic Gardens' Halloween walk is the one where the pumpkins are carved by professionals and the garden itself does the haunting. Glow at the Gardens sends a one-way path through illuminated landscapes with musicians, dancers, and scores of jack-o'-lanterns along the York Street grounds.
It runs eight nights, October 15-18 and 21-24, 5:30 to 9 PM. Tickets are timed, advance-only, and not sold onsite, and the closer-to-Halloween dates sell out first. Pricing posts on the Gardens' site.
