Calling all ghouls, goblins and heroes-in-training—join us for two frightfully fun days of costumes, misty bubbles and selfies with Spooky Spot. Show off your best moves at the Monster Mash Music Party, explore a Halloween-decorated Makerspace and meet some creepy, crawly animals that call the Museum home. Families can get creative making “Frightening Flights” with ghosts or witches that soar in the windchute and designing a haunted village to take home.
On Saturday, October 25 only, the fun gets even bigger! Families can decorate pumpkins, sponsored by Truly Nolen (spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis), and meet real community heroes in the Touch-a-Truck Zone. Police officers, firefighters and their vehicles will be on site, along with K-9 demonstrations showcasing the bravery of first responders.
From 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., Chewy Vet Care will host an interactive Vet Clinic, where children can step into the role of animal caretakers, practice empathy and learn how to care for pets and animals in need.
As part of the weekend festivities, MODS is proud to be a Pink Pumpkin site in partnership with CITY Furniture. Support CITY Furniture’s Pink Pumpkin campaign to spread breast cancer awareness by picking up a Pink Pumpkin bucket at the Museum. Buckets will be available October 25–26 for children 12 and under, while supplies last.
All weekend long, step into PAW Patrol: Adventure Play and discover the world of STEAM through your favorite heroic pups. Families can explore action-packed missions and enjoy paws-itively fun adventures.
Costumes encouraged. For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please avoid facemasks and toy weapons, including toy guns.
