Come in your costumes and celebrate Halloween with our sharpest minds and specimens!
Some animals rely on their razor-sharp talons and fangs to hunt. Others have stingers and claws of all shapes and sizes. In a special Halloween Night at the Museum, get up close—but not too close!—with some of the sharpest and spookiest specimens of the museum!
Specimen preparation- As always, our Collections Manager and skinners will be turning dead animals into museum specimens. Ask questions and get hands-on with his dissections and preparations! Specimen preparation will be located in room 297.
Wolf Haven International- Get up close and personal with some skulls and pelts while learning about wolf conservation!
Tahoma Audubon Society- Get to know some of our local birds with the sharpest beaks and talons!
Trick or treat- Answer a question at each table and earn a piece of candy!
Kid's craft- Create a spooky animal mask! The kid's craft will be located in room 283.
Costumes are encouraged!
This is a free, family-friendly, drop-in event.
