This year we are doing a super fun scavenger hunt for the kids, ‘hide and eek’! Inside each goodie bag is one of these hide and eek cards. Find all the Jack Skellington heads scattered around the park to collect all 13 stickers on your hide and eek card, starting with #1 right here in our main office. The first 3 kiddos to bring back their card with all 13 stickers gets a prize from us! Secondly, we have new Harvest Fest merch in our office too. Come and get it 👻!!
