Ghouls At Grassmere- One Of My Favorite Things To Do In Nashville For Halloween
https://www.modulocapital.com.br/zr91y5e This weekend we packed up the kiddos and headed for the Spooky Zoo… aka the “Ghouls At Grassmere”. This is a fun activity-packed evening put together by the Nashville Zoo and about a million volunteers. We’ve gone before and I really wish we could make it every year because we always have fun. If you’re in Tennessee you should check it out. Otherwise I recommend you let your fingers do some Internet walking and see if the zoo in your area has anything similar because it’s a hoot!

Almost everyone dresses up, and of course my family was no exception. This year we went for a Toy Story theme. From what I could see, Disney characters accounted for roughly half of the costumes that we saw. Some of my favorites were the entire family dressed as the Incredibles, the little “Minion” in a baby carrier, and Maleficent and her daughter Mal from the new Descendants movie. If you haven’t seen that movie yet, my nieces have an adorable movie review on their YouTube channel: WATCH HERE

Even without the discount for the zoo membership it was only $15 per person… although that added up pretty quickly since there are five of us! But the great thing is that your ticket covers everything except for food. The carousel, hay ride, and games are all included in that, which means you don’t have to whip out your wallet every five seconds. Grab your tennis shoes because there’s a lot of walking involved any time you go to the zoo.

And for once in our lives we were like ten minutes early. Seriously, I don’t think we’ve been early since I had baby number one… and that was a decade ago! It’s totally worth it to be early because that meant we were able to get the full bang for our buck. First things first, I had a pow wow with my friend Sarah who I coerced into coming along.

We decided to go for it and I’m so glad we did, especially when we saw the endless line of people waiting to ride it later that evening, yikes! And yes, the hayride was still fun even though it was still light out. If anything, it probably kept my youngest two from getting scared. I mainly just enjoyed the hayride, but here are a couple of fun shots.

There was a fun tent with blaringly loud Halloween music where the kids got to dance out some of their energy. There were several education zoo shows with live animals. There was mini golf and a “corn” maze.
