Trick or Treat at Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville This Weekend

Animal Adventure Park is getting a bit sweeter this weekend as its annual Trick or Treat events bring candy, books and other treats to Harpursville. The Halloween outings are among the first local events to kick off the season, and organizers say volunteers and organizations from around the area are helping make them happen.

Three Trick or Treat Events Are Planned

You can choose from three events, including two daytime outings and one evening option: Saturday, October 17th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, October 17th, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Sunday, October 18th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Each event will have about three dozen stations, with candy, books and other treats for visitors. The park says the different outings are intended to accommodate guests of all ages and interests.

Buy Tickets in Advance

Tickets must be purchased ahead of time. Animal Adventure Park says advance ticket sales help control the crowd size and make sure there is plenty of candy for guests. Tickets are available through AAPEvents.com.
