For Guests: - This trail is geared towards elementary school-aged children, Pre-K - 5th grade. Younger guests are welcome, and 6th & 7th graders can participate as kids in costumes or register as a volunteer and help out. - Coming Soon Register for a time to walk the trail. If you are not registered, you can wait for an open time at either 7:20 pm or 7:40 pm. Please note, there is a maximum of 25 people per time-slot, and children must be accompanied by a caregiver. - Costumes are encouraged and part of the fun! Just keep them in the E for Everyone range: no gore, blood, weapons, or nightmare-inducing items. - The trail will wind a path through the inside of the library and (weather permitting) exit through the gardens. - New this year! The Boy Scouts will host their Scary Trail along Owen's Nature Trail. This is a great option for those who do enjoy a good scare! Walk this trail in addition to the community trail inside the library, or choose which option best works for you.
