Join us for a howling good time with this year’s Museum of the Macabre: Creatures of the Night! The Museum will be turned into a haunted house full of the bone-chilling taxidermy that inspired your favorite movie monsters. Get up close and personal with every type of Halloween horror. Experience the natural history of your favorite cryptid, from werewolves to vampires.
For this 21+ Halloween party, come in your spookiest-themed attire and enjoy cauldron-concocted cocktails, creepy curiosities, and a costume contest for best dressed. As additional show-stoppers, this year we’ll have live animals, a DJ, a 3D photo booth, and a movie in the park using an inflatable movie screen.
