With dramatic LED uplighting of trees and over 14,000 feet of lighting throughout landscapes and gardens, Klehm Arboretum & Botanic Garden is completely transformed into the ultimate outdoor Halloween experience!
Visitors can explore Klehm like never before on a half-mile journey through spookily lit landscapes and not-so-scary, family-friendly displays and activities, including:
- Getting lost in the massive 2,500 sq. ft Children’s Spooky Straw Bale Maze
- Creating lifelong memories with Special Photo-Opportunity
Displays
- Shopping at the Ghostly Market for special Halloween items
- Enjoying themed refreshments offered by The Vintage Goose Cafe
- Seeing Rockford’s Biggest Pumpkin, projected to weigh in at nearly 2,000 pounds
- Special themed Thursday Night Curious & Creepy Educational Programs from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM in the Ghostly Market
- New for 2025! The choice to take a new, optional “spookier” route through the experience… 1/8 of a mile long and still family friendly!
