The whole family can dress up for Halloween and join a scavenger hunt and other fun and educational games.
- Step into the mad science lab to experiment with slippery slime, mess around with magical mixtures, and send creepy creatures careening through howling air tubes.
- Try imaginative arts and “witch crafts” – inscribe intriguing messages in invisible ink, make mixed-up monsters, and fashion frightening fingerprint creatures.
- Play ghoulish games galore – including ghost “boo-wling” and a bat toss – and design and decorate a dragon’s lair.
- Settle in for spooky storytime to hear haunted Halloween tales.
