Fright at the Museum

Fright at the Museum is running at the City Museum through November 1, with the whole thing kicking off back on September 30. It's the museum's Halloween celebration, and it's built for all ages, so you can bring the kids along without worrying about it being too much for them. The museum describes it as a journey through a realm of oddities and curiosities, where you step into a world of spine-tingling wonder. If you've spent any time at the City Museum, you know it's already a place of oddities, so this fits right in.

Because it's an all-ages event, it works as a family outing as much as a night out with friends. The "spine-tingling wonder" is the hook here, and the whole thing is themed around Halloween, so it's a good spot to drop in if you're looking for something to do during the season. It runs for over a month, from late September through the first day of November, which gives you plenty of time to fit it in whenever your schedule opens up.

If you're planning to go, the City Museum is at 701 North 15th Street in St. Louis. Fright at the Museum runs from September 30 through November 1, 2026.
