Looking for a spooky outdoor adventure for kids? We've got you covered! Bring your kiddos and their friends out for a Haunted Halloween Hike hosted by Pet World's sister company, The Nature Objective! 

Participants will be given a secret location pin located 20 minutes northwest of downtown Lawrence where they will bring one car load of kids for a private, outdoor experience getting "lost in the woods" on private property and finding their way back out. Guests can bring small flashlights if they choose and a two way radio will be provided in case you get too lost! There's no cell signal in these woods so you'll need a lot of courage! Experience dead ends on the trail, mazes, ghouls, goblins, along with the best startles and scares the darkness of the woods can provide!

Groups depart on foot every five minutes to maintain plenty of space and it should probably take about 45 minutes to make it back to your car, unless you run or get really lost! The trail is 1.5 miles long. Each group must have at least one parent/guardian of one child in the group present at all times but there is a max of no more than two people over 8 in any group. All groups must stay together for the entire event.

This private nature preserve is never open to the public and visitors are only allowed when scheduled in advance in order to avoid trespassing. All visits require reservations and visitors must agree to the rules of the property, including the NDA regarding the private location (for the safety of the animals, children, property owners, and visitors) and the Hold Harmless waiver.

Groups will always start at least a five minute walk after the previous group but it's possible one group might catch up or pass another. You will experience live character actors, dark shadows, startle scares where things jump out by surprise, loud noises, scary music and sound effects, frightening props, fog, and trippy black lighting, possibly including strobe lights. Participants must drive themselves to the property, and provide their own food, beverages, insect repellent, etc. if needed. Please stay in or near your vehicle until your group is beckoned. Vendors may be on site offering snacks and refreshment for a small donation or fee. Cash or card will be welcome.
