Squam Lakes Natural Science Center will celebrate Halloween and all things owl at Owl-O-Ween on Saturday, October 26.

Owls are a distinctive kind of raptor with unique adaptations that help them stalk their prey at night including extra-large eyes, high-frequency hearing, and specially designed feathers that enable some owls to fly silently.

Meet live owls at Up Close to Animals presentations throughout the day at the amphitheater where a naturalist will speak about the unique adaptations and characteristics that make each owl ambassador unique. See the animals along the live animal exhibit trail enjoying a variety of pumpkin treats.

Visitors should wear their favorite costume and soar over to Squam Lakes Natural Science Center to discover the magic of owls! Children will receive a bag of Halloween treats at the end of their visit to take home.

Owl-O-Ween is generously sponsored by Tootsie Roll Industries.
