"Halloween is all about spooky and silly fun. Listening to "scary" stories, dancing in costume and learning about and touching "scary" bugs and animals gives children a safe, fun space to explore some of their fears, and participate in one of the most memorable and fun childhood celebrations!" said Dina Rosenthal, the Museum's executive director.

Don't forget to wear your costumes, and to trick or treat at each exhibit!
