Halloween is a time for trick-or-treating, playful pranks, and getting your pants scared off. Events like these don’t happen everywhere, but this botanical garden right near Kansas City is a great place to enjoy Jack o’ lanterns of all kinds, without the hassle of cleaning pumpkin guts off your kitchen table.
During the day, Powell Gardens in Kingsville is a normal botanical garden with lush rolling hills and plenty of fall foliage this time of year.
