Join Merry Lea this fall for an “enchanted” night hike! Trail guides will lead groups by lantern-light to meet real “live” animals on our trails. These friendly creatures will tell you about their diets, habits and favorite places. Our costumed staff and volunteers will answer questions about life as a native Indiana animal. Hikes are one hour long, about every 25 minutes. While you wait for a guide outside, enjoy music and snacks and end the evening sipping hot cocoa around a campfire. This family-friendly evening is a great alternative to Halloween events too scary for young children. 


DATES AND COST

Two nights: October 21 & 22

Cost: $3.50/ person. Ages 2 & under are free.

Do I need a ticket for my baby?

Children age 2 and younger do not need a ticket and are admitted free of charge with a parent or guardian. All other guests will be charged $3.50.

Is there a fee for parking?

No, we do not charge for parking. Guests are welcome to park in the gravel parking lots around the Farmstead site. Please avoid parking on the grass.

Do I need to arrive by 7 p.m. to participate?

No, guided hikes will be available throughout the evening, leaving every 20 to 30 minutes. The hike is about 1 hour in length. Guests may enjoy snacks and music while waiting.

Do children wear costumes or dress up?

Children may wear costumes to the Enchanted Forest; however, this is not an expectation for our guests. Please no scary costumes. Keep in mind the event is designed to be a fun, family night hike.

May I bring a flashlight?

Flashlights are welcome for use around the buildings and in the parking lots. Each trail leader will have a lantern to light the way and we recommend not using your flashlight on the guided hike to maximize your night hiking experience. However, if you choose to use your flashlight on the hike, please be respectful and only shine it on the ground in front of you.

May I bring a stroller?

If you choose to bring a stroller, we recommend a “jogging stroller” or a similar kind of stroller with large wheels. The trails are not paved and may be uneven. Most of the trails are covered with grass or gravel.
