Families can enjoy nighttime fun at California Botanic Garden's annual Halloween haunt. 

Guests should bring a flashlight light the way as they explore the nocturnal world of plants and animals. The evening includes interactive activities and shows, live animal connections, creepy crawly crafts, and food trucks. 

On Friday only, the Bob Baker Marionette Theater performs a live puppet.

Spiders also creep in on the action, with the comedic The World Famous Spider Show  by science educator Andre Campbell, an interactive presentation showing the clever ways spiders catch their prey.

Advance purchase suggested as this event is likely to sell out. 

Purchase tickets for Friday, October 17

Purchase tickets for Saturday, October 18.
