BOOtanical: Autumn Festival & Pumpkin Patch
September 19 – October 31, 2026
10:00 am - 5:00 pm (closed Mondays)
Every fall, the Garden turns into BOOtanical — six weeks of pumpkins, hay bales, scarecrows and cool-evening Thursdays that Tulsa families come back for year after year. It opens Saturday, September 19 and runs straight through Halloween.
What’s waiting for you
- The Hay Maze — built by hand, big enough to lose the kids in (briefly)
- The Pumpkin Patch — pick your own to take
- Scarecrow Row — dozens of scarecrows built by local businesses, schools, scouts and families for the Scarecrow Challenge. Walk the row, pick a favorite, and vote.
- The Spooky Trail — Thursdays from October 1, 5–7:30 PM. A lantern-lit, not-too-scary walk through the Garden after dark. $12 non-members / $10 members, add-on to general admission.
- Bands & Blooms every Thursday, 6–8 PM — live music with food and drinks for purchase, included with admission
Spooky Trail
Thursdays in October
5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
BOOtanical saves its best for Thursday nights. Every Thursday in October, The Garden stays open late for the Spooky Trail, a lantern-lit, not-too-scary walk through Tulsa Botanic Garden after dark. Little ghouls and goblins can wind past activity stations, collect candy, get their faces painted and meet costumed characters along the way.
The Spooky Trail is on Thursdays, 5–7:30 PM. Tickets are $12, or $10 for members. Each week has a different character meet-and-greet:
- Oct 1: Batman & Spiderman
- Oct 8: Captain Hook & Sunset Mermaid
- Oct 15: Jack Skellington & Sally
- Oct 22: Woody & Jessie
- Oct 29: Bluey & Bingo
