Saturday, 10/18: 12 p.m.-10 p.m.
Sunday, 10/19: 12 p.m.-9 p.m. 
Saturday, 10/25: 12 p.m.-10 p.m.

Trick or treating 
Bubble dance party

Rides - Children's rides close at 4:30 pm, other rides stay open through the night.

There is also different themed food and drinks throughout the park.  We grabbed a Halloween refillable fresh baked cookie bucket on our trip. 

Nighttime Activities include: 

Rides
5 haunted attractions 
4 zones of different types of spooky characters 

My family's favorite haunted attraction was the Spell Keeper attraction.

* The characters come out in a parade at 5:50 so if you don't want to see the characters, I recommend leaving when you start to see the fog rolling in and the children's rides being closed.

Answers to last week's Find It Friday 🐦‍⬛🔎🧐

🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛There are 3 birds in the photo. 

❔Did you know ?  It is illegal to feed pigeons in Venice and can result in a large fine.  The law is to help protect the city from damage that the pigeons cause to buildings and statues.  Tourists feeding the pigeons led to an overpopulation of pigeons in the city. 

🗿📚The statue is of Niccolò Tommaseo who was an Italian writer and linguist.  The statue is located at Campo Santo Stefano in Venice.

Here is the unexpected answer to last week's Find Here is the unexpected answer to last week's Find It Friday....

Can you find the spider in this photo? 🔎🕷️

There is not a spider in the photo.

Spiders and Harvestmen are both arachnids but Harvestmen are not spiders.  Here are some key differences between the two.  @iowadnr are there any other key differences you would add? 

🕷️Spiders

*2 body segments

* 6-8 eyes

*produces silk for webs

*produces venom to digest prey

*eats small insects

*Uses web to trap prey

🚫Harvestmen 

*one oval shaped body

*2 eyes

*no silk or webs

*no venom

*eats dead matter, plants, and small prey

*can release odor or drop a leg to escape predators 

Watch the full reel to see if you can tell the difference between Harvestmen and Spiders.  Share with friends to see if they can tell the difference too.

Answer to last week's Find It Friday 🟥🔎🧐

📍Cedar Rock State Park, Independence, Iowa 🇺🇸

The answer to last week's Find It Friday is Frank Lloyd Wright, who is known as one of the greatest architects of all time.  The red tile in the photo has his signature.  He is famous for the term organic architecture as he strived to create structures that were in harmony with nature.  The  home of Agnes and Lowell Walter at Cedar Rock State Park is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most complete designs down to the interior placement of items allowed in the home.  The house was donated by the Walters to the state of Iowa in 1981 and has since become a state park led by Iowa DNR tours.  It is recommended to email or call for tours and the park is open from Mid-May to early October.
