Enchanted Forest: Independence

The Enchanted Forest is a non-scary alternative to haunted houses and a fun experience for younger children (accompanied by an adult). Groups are led by guides down the paved trail through the Enchanted Forest to see stories enacted at several stops along the way. A hayride at the end of the trail brings groups back to the entrance.

A non-scary, family-oriented, Halloween event at George Owens Nature Park. Storybook, fairy tale, and popular movie characters come to life.

2022 Dates: October 21, 22, 28 & 29. Gate opens at 7:00 PM. Everyone parked by 9:00 PM is admitted. Admission is $3 per person at the gate. Group pre-sales are available on a limited, first-come first-served basis by calling Independence Parks & Recreation at 816-325-7370. Don't miss this non-scary Halloween event sponsored by the Powerhouse Theatre Foundation and Independence Parks and Recreation. In the beautiful woods of George Owens Nature Park, children of all ages will be transported into the “Enchanted Forest” where storybook, fairy tale, and other popular characters come to life on your journey, which concludes with an old-fashioned hayride, and even more spectacular sights and sounds.
