Kids will have tons of wicked, spooky and science-filled fun at the Mad Science Halloween Party at the Carousel in Faust Park. This eerie event will take party goers into the haunted Mad Science lab where they will learn about air pressure and attempt to help a vicious vampire in his coffin after a night of feasting. Then, Countess Meggbert falls under a witch's spell while children use science to figure out how to reverse it.
But this spine-chilling party also features indoor fireworks, floating eyeballs and a cemetary effect that is guaranteed to spook and thrill any audience! With the enchanting experiments, spooky spells and daunting demonostrations, this party will make your child's Halloween season one to remember.
Snacks and a ride on the carousel are included! Space is limited and reservations are required.
