ArBOOretum 2009

Over 1,500 visitors came out to the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center for lots of safe, fun and eductional activities. The highlight of the event is always the Trick-or-Treat trail, which includes stops along a forest path to learn about animals that live in Houston. This year, the theme of the trail was migration. Kids pretended to be hummingbirds and had to cross the Gulf of Mexico at the Hummingbird Hover rope bridge, got to fly like a bat on a zip line, climb Monarch Mountain, navigate through the Sea Turtle Obstacle Course and more! Other activities included:
Owl Dracula

  • Live Owls
  • Hay Rides
  • Petting Zoo
  • Pony Rides
  • Cake Walk
  • Carnival Games
  • Face painting
  • Pumpkin decorating
  • Performance of classical and contemporary songs by members of Houston Grand Opera's Opera-To-Go
  • Costume Parade
