YES! The Annual Halloween Hike Is On!
Savannah, GA: The not too scary and very friendly “Halloween Hike” at Oatland Island Wildlife Center will be held for two evenings on October 19th and 20th, 2018 from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. The Halloween Hike is a very popular “Trick-or-Treat” event ideal for young children. Visitors walk through a short portion of Oatland’s trail where they will meet some “Friendly Forest” animal critters and their friends who will interact with, and pass out treats! Children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes and comfortable walking shoes. There will be lots of other children’s activities such as face painting, fossil hunting, games and crafts and food concessions will be available! Admission is $10.00 per child, $5 per adult, CASH ONLY! Children bring a treat bag and must be accompanied by an adult. The remainder of Oatland’s trail will be closed.

*Oatland Island Wildlife Center is a unit of the Savannah-Chatham County Schools located 5 miles east of Savannah off Islands Expressway. It serves as a field trip site for school children to learn about natural and environmental science. The Center encompasses a total of 175 acres of salt marsh, freshwater wetlands, and maritime forest habitats, and has a 2 mile long “Native Animal Nature Trail” where live indigenous animals may be viewed. Fund-raising events, such as the “Halloween Hike,” help offset the costs of animal care and habitat maintenance.
*At this time Oatland is NOT open to the public due to storm damage. Please look for our grand re-opening announcement soon!
