Costume Carnival - October 31
4:00 - 8:00pm

The Museum is hosting a special Costume Carnival, providing a FREE safe and indoor option for kids 10 and under on Halloween. We have partnered with some of our favorite organizations to turn the Museum into a Halloween hullabaloo with events including: a "Not-So Scary" Haunted Mountain, Silly-Spooky Storytimes, a "Where in the World is Dracula?" Scavenger Hunt, and many booths to visit for a "Trick" or a "Treat."

And yes, this event is FREE for kids 10 and under and their adult chaperones, but we would like you to bring a new or gently-used book to donate!

The Museum will be open from 10am - 3pm at our regular admission price on October 31st.  We'll close our doors at 3pm, make a magical Halloween transformation, and re-open at 4pm.

Stuff to keep in mind:

• This event is for kids 10 and under and their families. Kids need to be with an adult, and adults cannot enter unless they are with a kid.  For the 11-18 crowd, you need to be with an adult (someone over 18) AND a sibling or family member who is 10 or younger. 
• We hope everyone comes dressed up for the fun.  Costumes are not only welcomed, they are encouraged.  One thing though- we need to see your face.  No masks for adults or kids while you are at the Carnival.  And keep in mind that we are a family-friendly place, so try not to be too scary or too scandalous. 
• We are running this event while our supplies last.
