Fall Forest Weekends - The New York Botanical Garden


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 10/27/2024
The Thain Family Forest—New York City’s largest remaining tract of old-growth woodland—is your fall foliage headquarters! Leaf locally and explore the Forest’s 50 acres full of vibrant fall color–a front row seat to the best views of the season right at home. These weekends will offer Native American Heritage Month activities, tours, educational demonstrations, and more. Join Jack Skellington, Sally, and Zero on a walk of wonders, as your favorite characters, scenes, and songs from the immortal film come to life amongst the leaves of New York’s most treasured garden. You’ll marvel at this first-ever spectacle that illuminates the art of the classic film against a backdrop of botanical beauty—a must-see New York event for anyone who loves all things seasonal, festive, and fun. Don’t miss this 9-week limited engagement, from September 27 through November 30 only!
