Halloween Magic
October 13 to November 1
Museum Hours
Halloween is bigger, better and more boo-tiful than ever with expanded hours and added outdoor experiences. New this year, reservations are required for this reduced capacity event that gives children an opportunity for social-distanced trick or treating and other “spooktacular” experiences. As in past years, trick or treating will be candy-free with healthy snacks, fun treats and reusable treat bags provided by Schnucks.
Halloween Magic will feature the Museum’s traditional Not-So-Haunted House on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, where storybook characters come alive and make surprise visits throughout the museum. Children ages 2 to 12 can trick or treat throughout the Museum using jokes and riddles to find treat locations, plus families will enjoy Halloween craft projects in the Art Studio as well as all their favorite play experiences – many with a Halloween twist.
A variety of outdoor experiences will also be offered Tuesday through Sunday.
Cost: Free with Museum admission, admission registration required.
