Each year the Museum celebrates the Halloween season with Haunted Museum. There is plenty to do for the whole family and chances to interact with Museum scientists and researchers who bring some of their creepy crawly collections with them to view and touch. Best of all costumes are encouraged!
Exclusively for members at the Naturalist level and higher.

On Sunday, October 23, 2011 the Museum held its 8th Annual Haunted Museum, "Fairy Tales and Scary Tales". Fairy tale chracters took camp in the Museum, and guests were given the choice to follow two storybook inspired scavenger hunts, one a fairy tale, the other a scary tale!
Check out photos and some great costumes from the event!
Check out the Museum's caves and caverns as well as some wild costumes and performances from last year's Haunted Museum, "Creepy Caves and Eerie Caverns"! Click here
The theme is different every year. In years past, we've hosted "The Lost Expedition," "The Mystery of the Missing Movie Monsters," "The Curse of Pirate Pete," "Natural History Academy for Wizards and Witches," "The Graveyard Shift," "The Spookiest Show on Earth," and "Creepy Caves and Eerie Caverns."
