Halloween is just around the corner! Costumes ready? Candy stocked? Weekend plans? I can help with the last one!
Garden Of Decay
In October, Navy Pier becomes the backdrop for an eerie and immersive adventure. Visitors are invited to uncover the enigmas of a formerly renowned genetics lab, now a place called the Garden of Decay, which has been molded by sorrow. Equipped with headsets, guests will navigate through various rooms under the guidance of actors. This exceptional encounter has been carefully designed in collaboration with gifted local artists, each of whom has contributed unique touches to every space. Following the experience, you can explore a realm of interactive art, browse through themed vendor stalls brimming with treasures, savor botanical cocktails, receive tarot card readings, and engage in a multitude of other activities within the Garden of reCreation.
