Happy Frights is a family-friendly trick-or-treating experience that offerse “not-so-spooky worlds.”

“Guests will have the opportunity to journey through a mysterious swamp with larger-than-life wildlife, enter a world of clowns in the Crazy Carnival, explore a hedge maze and meet the Mad Hatter, enjoy hip-hop dancing aliens who have crash-landed in the gardens,” and so much more.

And for those wanting something a little more dark, Haunting Nights offers “an even bigger and spookier” experience.

“It has just the right amount of chilling amusement recommended for ages 13 and up. Guests will have the opportunity to watch out for Bigfoot on the swampy edges of Lake Rowena, make it through a world of clowns in the Crazy Carnival, enjoy hip-hop dancing aliens all night long, celebrate Dia de Muertos with a frozen margarita and live music, brave the Minotaur in the Hedge Maze, meet a Gargoyle flying through the treetops and a 12 feet tall spider – all accompanied by fantastic fall food and drinks!” a release said.
