Haunted Hollow Fest returns bigger and better this year at SIU’s Touch of Nature.
On October 24th, Touch of Nature is holding their Haunted Hollow fest with activities for all ages.
The fest is longer this year and runs from 11am to 6pm.
Some of the activities include a climbing wall, hayride, child-friendly haunted cabin, face and pumpkin painting and more.
Assistant Director of Programs Brian Croft says the fest is not only entertaining, but also educational.
“We have a little bit of an environmental focus on it, so we talk about some of the scary creatures, you know, like spiders and snakes, and we'll even have some of those creepy critters out there and we'll talk about how they can seem scary, but they're actually really cool and so it really is just a chance to educate, but it's also just a chance to get people outside.”
Admission and some activities are free, but some activities require a fee.
Costumes and masks are encouraged, the event is rain or shine.
