"This celebration of the fall season provides families with both a fun and educational nature experience. There are a variety of opportunities for visitors of all ages to delight in nature with activities such as scavenger hunts, a Shangri La obstacle course, pumpkin decorating, hayrides and pontoon boat rides along Adams Bayou. Visitors may take a closer look at nature by investigating some of the critters that call Shangri La home," said Katie Krantz, associate director of Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center.
