Join us for our 33rd annual Romp in the Swamp event, presented by Essity – a cherished autumn tradition where adventure meets celebration. This year, we’re back and better than ever, and we can’t wait to have you join the fun!
Your adventure begins as you take an enchanting hay wagon ride out to the prairie. There, you can grab a s’more before exploring our scenic trails to collect treats at the trick-or-treat stations along the way. You can also try your hand at navigating the twists and turns of the prairie maze, compete in a costume contest with fantastic prizes up for grabs, enjoy festive, fall-themed games in The Pines, and even watch a film in costume while savoring some delicious popcorn as we transform our lower level into a movie theater.
We anticipate a sell-out crowd once again, so don’t delay! If there are any remaining tickets on the day of the event, they will be $12 at the door. Gather your family, invite your friends and their kids, and come join us for a day of autumn magic.
All funds raised from Romp in the Swamp go towards supporting the mission of Bubolz Nature Preserve, ensuring that we can continue to provide exceptional experiences for our community through education, recreation, and conservation.
We look forward to welcoming you to Romp in the Swamp – a family-friendly event that promises fun and adventure!
