4. Wednesday October 19– Haunted Trail of Balboa Park 

The Haunted Trail is a stroll through the park you will never forget. Enter the mile long Trail through the twisted grove of pines and gnarled oaks. Visitors watch your back, you’ll never know which way the terror will hit you. True to form, the Trail is not for children under 10 or the faint of heart. Experience an outdoor terror that is simply too big to house indoors. This year The Haunted Trail features an additional maze called “The eXperiment”.

Explore the spookier side of air and space as you go on a scavenger hunt, make eerie and ghastly gliders, and take a flashlight tour of the galleries to visit some of our old…friends. At night, sleep next to an old war plane, but we can’t guarantee that it isn’t haunted…
