Haunted Harvest is the kind of Halloween event that works best when you plan it before the kids are already in costume. Springs Preserve is running the outdoor celebration October 22 through 25, with timed tickets and limited attendance each night.
The route combines trick-or-treat stations, live entertainment and a walk through the “Bootanical” Garden, where costumed characters supply the mild scares. Springs Preserve describes it as a safe, family-friendly event, so this is not a haunted-house endurance test.
Dates, prices and entry
- Dates: October 22–25, 2026
- Public hours: 6–8:30 p.m.
- Member entry: Limited 4 p.m. sessions are available
- Non-members: $14 for ages 3 and older

Reservations are required and tickets are tied to a specific date and entry time. Sales are final, with no rescheduling or refunds. When we checked on October 12, several October 24 and 25 sessions were already sold out or limited, so this is not one to leave until the afternoon of the event.
Practical notes
Parking at Springs Preserve is free, with overflow parking at Meadows Mall. The venue is cashless, minors must be accompanied by a guardian and adults may not wear costume masks that cover the entire face. Guests also go through metal-detector screening.
