Celebrate the spooky season with a day full of fall-inspired activities and Halloween fun for all ages. From hands-on programming to festive photo opportunities, there’s something for the whole family to enjoy.
Featured Programming:
- That’s Gross! Live Science Show: Get ready to laugh, learn, and squirm as we uncover the grossest secrets hiding inside (and outside) of us.
- How NOT to Carve a Pumpkin Show: Watch as simple carving turns into a wild, messy, and totally unforgettable science experiment.
- Slime, Dough or Putty Demonstration: Come get hands-on with these squishy, stretchy, sometimes-oozy materials! Discover the science behind what makes them bounce, drip, and stretch in this lively tabletop demonstration.
- Members Only: See our Youth Ambassadors in action! Join our next generation of science leaders for hands-on fun in Pepper Hall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Costumes encouraged!
Free with general museum admission
