From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Halloween the center runs spooky crafts, activities and games throughout the whole event, so families can drop in at any point. Wildwoods itself has a Treehouse Village of multi-story treehouses linked by hammocks, swinging bridges and swings, plus a boulder garden and a challenge course; children can mix the craft tables with free play on the elements. Families reach Wildwoods by the 700-foot suspension bridges over the Canyon or by parking in the mid-south lot next to it, and check in at Wildwoods Cabin, where passes, food and drinks are sold. Costumes fit the day. Note that part of Wildwoods may be closed while the Phase II expansion is under construction. ## Similar picks coming up in Charlotte - [Bones and Beyond at McDowell Nature Center](https://grassyknees.com/charlotte/activities/bones-and-beyond-at-mcdowell-nature-center--listing-438c4e9eef5c555ea976b1d3) — Mon, Nov 2 · 12:00 PM – 3:30 PM · McDowell Nature Center and Preserve · All ages · Free · checked Oct 20.
