Halloween at the Children’s Museum

One of the most popular events at the Museum is our Halloween Eve Celebration. Of course, children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes, but what makes the evening so much fun is the fact that so many adults wear their own costumes. It’s just neat when kids and their grownups have so much fun together – and that’s what happens all the time here at the Museum.

At our event, which is Thursday, Oct. 30, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., the children will enjoy special tattoos, glow-in-the-dark painting, and, of course, trick-or-treating!

And because our Halloween fun is on a Thursday night – which we call Thursday Family Nights – admission is only $1 per person. That’s a deal you can’t beat anywhere, especially considering that in addition to the holiday fun, the rest of the Museum will be available for all the play you can muster – including our special To the Rescue exhibit.

Museum staff members have also been invited to dress up for the event. I’m real interested to see what some of these folks come up with. As for me, well, my costume is top secret – maybe I’ll post a picture of it afterwards. But we’ll just have to wait and see.

I’m curious, what are you and your children planning to dress as for Halloween?
