ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (October 11, 2022) — Dress up your little ghosts and goblins for a “Not So Scary” lighted-walk through the gardens after dark. Bring your flashlights and explore the nooks and crannies of the Sun Garden to search for spiders, bats, jack-o-lanterns, and toads as you wander down the darkened pathways. Get a glimpse of the Halloween train in our popular train garden. It’s not so scary in our gardens, making this event great for all ages.

The walk takes place both indoors and outdoors, so please dress according to weather and for a walk across the lawn. All children take home a goodie bag after the fun, so leave your trick-or-treat buckets at home.
