The annual event is scheduled for October 13, 14, & 15

Asbury Woods presents the annual Scary Creature Feature, scheduled for Thursday, October 13; Friday, October 14 and Saturday, October 15 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Andrew J. Conner Nature Center at Asbury Woods.

Scary Creature Feature is a family-friendly event complete with activities, storytelling, and a guided walk through the woods where guests encounter and learn about some not-so-scary, nocturnal creatures that live in the forest.   The event is ideal for ages 3-8 as they are immersed in make-believe to meet and greet animal characters that are native to our region.

“It’s the perfect chance to explore the woods at night in a festive and family-friendly way. Highlighted creatures on the tour include the barred owl, spider, skunk, salamander, and Luna moth.  Plus, this year, we’ll introduce an opossum character.  This is a great event to learn about animals found in our area in hopes to inspire a connection to the outdoors with our youngest visitors,” says Jennifer Farrar, Executive Director.

Scary Creature Feature is sponsored by: Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority
