# Event Details - **Event Name**: Wildlife Trick or Treat - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Take a short, wooded hike to visit a series of trail stations where you'll learn about "spooky" wildlife including scorpions, bats, spiders and more. Bring your trick-or-treat gear! No tricks, but plenty of treats as we learn the truth about some often-misunderstood creatures. Our "hike" will be less than 0.25-mile, and each trail station will have wildlife information, specimens to examine, and of course candy to receive. Costumes are welcomed, but not required. Please bring a flashlight or headlamp. Who Is Invited: All ages welcome. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please. This is a public program intended for families. If you would like to bring a group for a program at Government Canyon, please contact the Park Interpreter at Lisa.Cole@tpwd.texas.gov to schedule a guided hike at a different time. Where to Meet: This activity meets in Parking Lot C, part of which will be closed for the event. If Lot C fills, park in Lot A or B (near the Visitor Center) and walk to the Visitor Center, across the bridge, past the campground and on to Lot C. This activity is somewhat stroller friendly, but if you have a carrier it might be a better option. The trail surface is not compacted, and may be somewhat busy with other hikers. How to Prepare: Registration is NOT required for this activity, but entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, you can pre-purchase and print out a day pass. Day passes can be reserved beginning one month before the date of your visit. There is often a line at the fee booth; arrive early to get to your activity on time. There will be some lighting on the trail, but please bring a flashlight or headlamp. Wear closed-toe shoes. Dress for hiking outdoors, in layers that can be added or removed as the weather changes. Costumes are welcomed! If ADA assistance is required, please request modifications by emailing accessibility@tpwd.texas.gov at least 30 days in advance. Cancellation: This program is weather-dependent and subject to cancellation. Check conditions by calling GCSNA's main office at 210-688-9055, or go to the GCSNA webpage, Instagram, or Facebook. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/helotes/wildlife-trick-or-treat/200030550326403 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, halloween, trick-or-treat, workshops, trekking - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 53 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Helotes - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: 12861 Galm Rd, San Antonio, TX, United States, Texas 78254 - **lat**: 29.53708 - **long**: -98.74747 - **full address**: 12861 Galm Rd, San Antonio, TX, United States, Texas 78254, 12861 Galm Rd, San Antonio, TX 78254-9588, United States, Helotes ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Wildlife Trick or Treat - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/15516e4e4ae9e3eb0276252e8477eb36ae4533db32b5208bbce430209f4d855b-rimg-w1200-h628-dc080808-gmir?v=1787478297 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Wildlife Trick or Treat being held? - **A:** Wildlife Trick or Treat takes place on Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 12861 Galm Rd, San Antonio, TX, United States, Texas 78254, 12861 Galm Rd, San Antonio, TX 78254-9588, United States, Helotes. - **Q**: Who is organizing Wildlife Trick or Treat? - **A:** Wildlife Trick or Treat is organized by Government Canyon State Natural Area - Texas Parks and Wildlife. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
