Monster Ball at The Adventure Park

The Adventure Park at Nashville is hosting the Monster Ball on Friday, October 30, from 5 PM to 10 PM. It's an adults-only Halloween night in the treetops, and they're pretty clear about that part: they pitch it as strictly for grown-up ghouls rather than a pumpkin patch, and entry is limited to over-18s. It's one of several Halloween events the park runs throughout the month, about 15 minutes west of downtown.

Once you're up there, the night works like the rest of the park, just under the moon. You'll fly through the trees on ziplines and work your way through climbing challenges, with the venue cranking up the music and flipping on the lights to keep the Halloween vibe going. The park describes it as a night to howl at the moon while you're high in the canopy, so it's less about a slow stroll and more about spending a few hours moving through the course.

If you're planning to go, keep in mind the timing. It runs from 5 PM to 10 PM, so you've got a five-hour window to get through the course. Tickets are $43, and the park is located at 801 C Percy Warner Boulevard, Nashville, 37205.
