What’s the best way to kick off the official Halloween season? With a stroll down Glenlore Trails, CarnEvil 2!

 

This Fall, the CarnEvil theme returns to Glenlore Trails for its second act: CarnEvil 2. Featuring all-new experiences alongside returning fan-favorite attractions, this interactive, illuminated night walk transforms the forest into a mysterious, crooked midway. Along the trail, encounter carnival-inspired games, unexpected surprises, swinging skeletons, and more. It’s a spooky, family-friendly adventure through the woods you don’t want to miss!

.

This is a perfect event for a family night (kids of all ages, no jump scares), a date night, or quality time with friends. You can enhance your experience, as you wander through luminous lights and spellbound sounds, a keen eye will reveal enchanted places touched by the coven’s wicked power. With the tap of a wand (for those brave enough to wield one), you might even stir up a little magic of your own — and yes, wands from previous years will still work! 

As a mom with teenagers who are ready for something a bit less elementary and a youngest who is deathly afraid of anything too scary, this was the perfect experience! And it was nice to slow down, take a leisurely stroll outdoors, watch the kiddos enjoy themselves, be amazed by the time and effort that went into bringing the trail to life, and ultimately soak in the energy and memories of the night.

 

Looking to make it a girls’ night out or a double date night with friends? The earlier time slots tend to fill with young families, while the evening brings out an older crowd. We arrived around 8:45 PM, and the crowd was a great mix of some older adults and families with kids.
