Experience hand-carved Jack-O-Lanterns located throughout the beautiful gardens, as well as glowing orbs, Hollusion dancing video projections, and the colorful lighted tower at Sycamore Falls. New this year, all three nights will feature our Candy Factory at the end of the route, as well as activities and chemistry shows from ISU SCUM (Society of Chemistry Undergraduate Majors). A local BSA troupe will also be selling pre-packaged snacks and hot chocolate as a fundraiser near the halfway point of the route (cash and credit cards accepted).
Tickets are for reserved entry time slots. Arrive during your time slot and stay as long as you wish (until we close). Popular times sell out quickly, so purchase tickets early!
All the details you'll want to know about our timed-entry ticketing, event schedule and important rules.
Check out this year's map for info on route length, bathroom locations and of course where the candy will be.
