Trick-or-Treat the Trail at White Deer Park is a free community Halloween event where children collect candy from local businesses along a paved one-mile path. This afternoon activity is ideal for toddlers and elementary-aged children who might find neighborhood trick-or-treating too late or too dark. Be sure to bring your own candy buckets, as bags are not provided. While the trail walk is free, you will want to bring payment for the on-site food trucks. The nature center will also be open during the event, featuring a special exhibit with live insects and reptiles. This is a smart weekend pick because it wraps up by 5:30 PM, leaving you plenty of time to get the kids home for dinner and bed before the late-night Halloween rush begins.
