Families are invited to come in costume and trick-or-treat throughout the Model Railroad Garden to celebrate Halloween and the end of the railroad’s season at Trains, Tricks & Treats on Saturday and Sunday, October 25 and 26.  The Model Railroad Garden will be decorated with spider webs, spiders, ghosts, goblins, and pumpkins, as well as seasonal plant materials. Visitors, volunteers, and Garden staff are encouraged to come in costume.  An array of treats including candy, temporary tattoos, and glow sticks can be picked up throughout the Model Railroad Garden. Kids can take part in planting activities.

The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 3-12. Members save $1.

Event hours are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, weather permitting.

It is becoming harder and harder to find pumpkin patchs in the Chicagoland area who do not charge just to get in. However, First United Methodist Church of Oak Lawn, 100th and Central Ave in Oak Lawn, IL 60453 does not charge admission. It is open every day from October 15-31: 10:00 a.m.-dusk, Sunday: noon-dusk. Pumpkins by size not pound! They have large, small and mini pumpkins, gourds, arts & crafts, hayrides, arts & crafts, food and drinks. Beat those expensive crowded pumpkin farms!
