SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Botanical Garden announced the debut of two new spooky attractions coming this fall.
"Happy Frights" is a family friendly trick-or-treat adventure that travels through multiple worlds. Along the trek, guests will encounter live actors and several trick-or-treat stations.
"Haunting Nights" kicks off after dark and offers a more thrilling Halloween experience. This frightening event is for adults and guests 13-years-old and up.
These events will take place on select dates from October 4 through November 2. "Happy Frights" entry times begin at 5 p.m. and Haunting Nights entry times begin at 8 p.m. Both shows will provide amazing seasonal food and drinks.
Tickets start at $21 per person.
"At the Garden, our passion is bringing people together to engage with nature,” SABG President and CEO Katherine Trumble said. “Happy Frights & Haunting Nights is another opportunity to do just that. We know that guests of all ages, friends and family, will love these two immersive Halloween experiences that offer a delightful blend of thrills and enchantment.”
"Happy Frights" and "Haunting Nights" was unveiled as part of a joint-venture between the San Antonio Botanical Garden and Memoir Agency.
“We’ve been working behind the scenes for more than a year on these shows,” says Founder and CEO of Memoir Agency Cole NeSmith. “We’re so grateful to finally be able to bring not just one, but two exciting shows to life this fall. Our team has put something together that we know is going to be so fun for every one of our guests. Whether it’s a fun night out with the family or a chance to gather with friends, I’m grateful that we can bring the San Antonio community together for these truly unique and exciting Halloween experiences!”
