Beary Scary Halloween

At Grandfather Mountain, Halloween isn’t scary. It’s Beary Scary. Experience mountains of tricks and treats during the annual Halloween celebration. The special day features a spooky selection of fun, interactive programs, along with Halloween-themed activities for all the ghouls and boys. Try your hand at Halloween crafts, along with games like Pin the Tail on the Bear, bean-bag toss and more.

Park educators host interactive, autumn-themed nature programs, and kids get to trick-or-treat through the mountain’s wildlife habitats — home to black bears, river otters, bald eagles, cougars and elk. Grandfather’s resident animals will also enjoy some special treats (they’re not really partial to tricks). Plus, kids in costume receive half-price admission.
