Celebrate Summerween all week long at The Magic House! Beat the heat and get a sneak peek at the fun of fall. Come dressed up in your "funnest" beach attire or Halloween costume – whichever season suits you – and trick or treat throughout the Magic House.
Kids can also make Summerween Slime in the Science Lab and enjoy a special spooky story time in the Story Time Theater, plus there will be cool treats in the Picnic Basket Cafe and fun Summerween decorations throughout the museum.
Summerween is included in Magic House admission and is happening July 28 through August 1 during regular hours.
