2026 Easter Family Night Report

The Monday following Easter, the Bean Life Science Museum celebrated the night filled with an assortment of fun activities. Guests could go to a face painting station with the option to have a butterfly, Easter egg, or some cougar stripes painted. There was a paper flower craft for anyone feeling artsy. And we had a balloon animal station going. One of the most popular activities of the evening was the Easter egg scavenger hunt. Guests used a bingo sheet of different Easter egg designs to spot throughout the museum. Anyone who got a bingo got the chance to spin our prize wheel!

There also was a photo booth to pose with some unique museum specimens and show off cool face paint designs. Lastly, was a special interactive presentation about Easter traditions and animals found all around the world. The night was a success and hundreds of guests of all different ages came and participated. We look forward to many fun family nights in the future.
