On this enchanted evening, animals have the ability to speak human language and communicate with visitors. You and your family will follow a guide through the luminary-lit Enchanted Trail to meet them.

This magical, non-scary event is designed for children and their adults. Talking animals engage your imagination, maybe make you laugh, and teach you something about wildlife in the region. After the walk, stop in the backyard to enjoy a campfire and music. Snacks and drinks will be available to purchase. There will be crafts, live animals, and exhibits to explore inside the Nature Center.

*Reservations for this guided walk are required. Walks go out every 10 minutes and last about 40 minutes. (Sunset is approximately 6:45 p.m.) Audubon members at the $60 Family level and higher may reserve starting August 15. Regular registration opens September 1.  

Special Information: Dress for the weather. Halloween costumes welcome! Program happens rain or shine. ACNC recommends long pants, long-sleeved shirts, closed-toed shoes, and insect repellent. These precautions help protect you from biting insects such as mosquitoes.
