As the sun sets, the museum will come alive with engaging activities across all three floors, led by a cast of quirky characters inspired by iconic museum artifacts. As Fred the Mastodon looks on, visitors can use funky instruments to create spooky sounds and step inside the scream booth to measure their shrieks. Families can watch spooktacular science demonstrations with Connie Fusion then stop by Dr. Rose’s Mad Science Lab to make their own ghostly gak. With a spin of Dunky’s candy wheel, visitors can win Halloween treats. Children will love using Cricket’s critter catapults to launch plastic insects and see how many they can land on the webs. At Ross the Sloth’s Giggle Graveyard, guests can use a UV flashlight to illuminate whimsical epitaphs that are sure to tickle a funny bone.
Elsewhere in the museum, visitors can get as close as they dare to live, crawling critters and take home a personalized masterpiece painted by maggots! Everyone is encouraged to come in their favorite Halloween outfits and compete for prizes in the costume contest before hitting the dance floor to twist and shout to the sounds of monster music.
