Local Halloween Extravaganza "Spooky Walk" Returns in October

Ghosts, ghouls, goblins, swamp monsters and more are returning for the Town of North Hempstead’s most popular Halloween extravaganza of the year: Spooky Walk.

Thousands of visitors come to experience the smoggy, spine-tingling walk through the Clark Botanic Garden, located at 193 I.U. Willets Road in Albertson, each year.

See what it’s like for yourself on Friday, Oct. 23 and Saturday, Oct. 24 from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Cost is $5 per person.

Spooky walk, presented by Nassau Educators Federal Credit Union, may not be suitable for young children. All minors must be accompanied by an adult.

Young children might prefer the Not-So-Spooky-Walk, which will be held from 12-4 p.m. on Sunday Oct. 25. Cost is $3 per person. Not-So-Spooky Walk will feature the NEFCU Kid Zone, which will provide activities and performances by the Silly Magician.

Children will also get the chance to see close-up views of the planets and colorful double stars at the Spooky Walk on Oct. 24. Telescopes, exhibits and hands-on activities will be provided 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.
