Today we'll be looking at a Long Island favorite for Halloween festivities, Hicks Nurseries, which is actually the oldest nursery and garden center on Long Island.
What's so great about Hicks? FREE ADMISSION.
What does that get you?
-Beautiful atmosphere
-Otto the Ghost's animated story that mostly changes year to year (although there was a period of years that all involved Venus fly traps)
For small fees you can:
-Feed animals
-Go on a hay ride
-Buy pumpkins, squash, roasted corn, kettle corn, and more
-Purchase Halloween and Christmas decorations
AND MORE!
Hicks was always a favorite of mine growing up as a kid and I even tried turning my basement into one of Otto's animated scenes when I was 3. Could you tell this kid loved amusements?
Anyways folks, below are two shots of the Hicks Fall Festival's signature character, Otto the Ghost!
I believe Marshall Eriksen had a sweet pair of 90's pants too on How I Met Your Mother
Again, just loving those 90's outfits
The costume hasn't changed much since '95! Here's a picture of Otto today and the only real difference I can spot is the bow.
Alright folks! That wraps things up for today! If you have young children and want to get in the holiday spirit for fall and Halloween be sure to spend an hour or two over at Hicks.
We have more for you tomorrow so be sure to stop by again soon!
