Children's Museum of Manhattan To Offer A Series of Special Halloween-Themed Programs

In celebration of Halloween, the Children's Museum of Manhattan (212 West 83rd Street) will offer a series of special events and activities on Oct. 28, 29 and 31.

Kids can explore the magical side of Halloween: is it a trick or a treat? They can also learn the science and secretes behind illusions, explore the science of sound with The Little Rockers Band, and if they're lucky, perhaps Justin the Magician will share some of his secret tricks.

Below please find the complete schedule:
