You’ve probably heard of Family Home Evening, but have you heard of Family Out Evening? At the Bean Life Science Museum, for Halloween Family Night? Held annually, this year’s event was once again a success.
The night’s activities featured creative balloon animal creations, story time, visiting with our live tarantulas, crafts, and collectable stamps to spin a wheel to win some neat prizes.
Visitors could also help make a ‘potion’ in our elephant-foot-cauldron by selecting magic specimens from a wizard’s collection of potion ingredients, including newts and toads preserved in jars and bats and snake skins for extra ‘flavor.’
The highlight of the night may have been the Spooky Shows in our downstairs auditorium featuring halloween animal facts, howling along like wolves, lots of participation and laughter, and even a ‘missing’ live tarantula.
It’s no hoax to say that both our museum educators and museum patrons all had a delightful, fun, and spooky evening!
Suzy, museum educator
