Norwich, Vermont — The Montshire Museum of Science will host its annual evening Halloween event, “Spooky Science” on Friday, October 27th, 2023 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

This special evening event at the Museum will feature “tricked out” exhibits and live Halloween-themed demonstrations designed especially for families with children through age 12. The event will also include opportunities to make Potions, handle Creepy Crawlies in the “boneyard”, and investigate the Dark in a blacklight tunnel. For young guests, there will be not-so-spooky explorations in the Wonder Woods pumpkin patch. The event will conclude with a Grand Finale and trick-or-treating.

Guests are invited to come in costume and participate in a costume contest. Prizes will be awarded in several categories, including: Best Family Costume, Best Baby Costume, Most Earth Friendly Costume, Best Science-Themed Costume, Best Barbie-Themed Costume, and Most Creative Costume.
