The Woodlands Children’s Museum’s Two-Day Halloween SpookTacular Packed with Slime, Stories, Magic, and a Non-Scary Bat Cave

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Woodlands Children’s Museum is brewing up double the fun this Halloween season by expanding its beloved, long-running tradition into an exciting new two-day celebration! Designed especially for little ghouls and goblins ages seven and under, this year’s "fa-BOO-lous" Halloween SpookTacular promises a friendly and non-spooky environment filled to the brim with entertainment, guided art projects, and playful festivities. New this year, an amazing bat cave comes alive with the sights and sounds of nocturnal life. Guests are invited to find friendly creatures hidden throughout the trees and bog.

For over 16 years, the museum has provided a whimsical alternative to trick-or-treating that keeps every drop of Halloween magic while leaving all the fright behind. Guests are encouraged to wear and share their favorite costumes throughout the event.

Families can explore carnival-style games including fan favorites like Ring-a-Pumpkin and Ghost Bowling.
