NHMU Family Seasonal Science: Halloween

NHMU Family Seasonal Science: Halloween is at the Natural History Museum of Utah on Saturday, October 17, from 10:15 AM to 2:15 PM. It's a drop-in activity held in the museum's Earth Lab, so you can swing by whenever it fits your morning or afternoon rather than committing to a specific time slot.

The session is built around hands-on Halloween crafts that lean into the science side of things. You'll find a few different projects to work on: jack-o-lantern optical illusions, ghostly windsocks, water-repelling spider-web art, and mini Halloween wreaths. Since it's a drop-in, you can pick one and spend some time with it or move through several throughout the morning. The museum describes it as a family program, and children need to be accompanied by an adult.

Admission to the activity is included with your museum ticket, so you can spend the rest of your visit wandering through the galleries. General admission is about $24.95 for adults, $22.95 for ages 13-24 and seniors 65+, and $20.95 for children 3-12. Children 2 and younger, museum members, and qualifying University of Utah students, faculty, and staff with a valid U Card get in free. EBT and WIC cardholders can buy up to six tickets for $2 each. The museum is at 301 Wakara Way in Salt Lake City.
