Halloween SpookTacular set for Oct. 31

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Tickets are on sale now for the biggest and best – but not scariest – Original Halloween SpookTacular.

The Woodlands Children’s Museum invites your family to its favorite party of the year. Dress up in a cheerful costume and take them to the museum's Halloween-themed activities – a family-friendly alternative to walking through the neighborhood at dusk.

The fun begins at 4 p.m. Guests will enjoy child-friendly games, art projects and creative activities. Games will include Pin-the-Bowtie on the Skeleton, Dodging Donuts, Monster Ring Toss and Slimy Science.

Children will delight in the Halloween gross-out sensory area and explore the bone dig.

Alden Bridge Pediatric Dentistry and Urgent Care for Kids are serving as co-sponsors for the event. Kiwanis will be selling pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs and drinks.

Angela Colton, executive director of The Woodlands Children’s Museum, said the museum staff looks forward to hosting the SpookTacular each year.

“We go all out for Halloween,” she said. “It’s a holiday that presents some of the best opportunities to engage children in creative play – it’s all about costumes, acting, storytelling and art. And, of course, it’s so much safer than trying to navigate the streets at dusk.”

Costumes are encouraged. Admission to the Halloween SpookTacular Party for children is $7 for members and $9 for non-members. Adult admission is $1. Presale tickets are available.

Recommended for ages 7 years and under. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
