Join us in costume or not for a Spook-tacular evening of trick or treating with our animal ambassadors, kid-friendly haunted trail, pumpkin painting, cake walk, and much more. Food trucks including Hawaiian Shaved Ice, Cheesus, and Geesh’s will be on-site to provide all sorts of delicious treats each night.
ECWR Executive Director, Crystie Baker stated that, “All proceeds and donations from this year’s event will help to provide care for our animal ambassadors and rehab patients. We’ve already had over 1500 patients this year and have just entered an unheard-of 3rd baby season, so events like the Batty Halloween Wing Ding really help fund and support our wildlife work and mission”. Admission $4.00 per person in costume and $5.00 without a costume includes activities like trick or treating with our animal ambassadors, while other games, crafts and raffle prizes will be available for $1.00 per ticket. So, sharpen your fangs, straighten those wings and fly on over to Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge for a ghoulish good time while your children learn about the native animals that live so close to all of us every day. We plan to have a devilishly great evening with our guest of all ages.
