INDIANAPOLIS — Spooky season is almost upon us, and a family-favorite event celebrating this is returning to Indianapolis.
The annual Night at the Boo Bash will be hosted at the Indiana State Museum from 6-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11.
The museum will "come alive" with guests being able to engage in activities across all three floors, led by a cast of characters inspired by museum artifacts, officials said.
"Starting on the first floor, families can stop by Dr. Rose’s Mad Science Lab to watch cool chemical reactions and make their own ghostly shaped fizzy bath bombs to take home. With a spin of Dunky’s candy wheel, visitors can win Halloween treats," the news release states. "Children will love using Cricket’s critter catapults to launch plastic insects and see how many they can land on the webs. At Ross the Sloth’s Giggle Graveyard, guests can use a UV flashlight to illuminate whimsical epitaphs that are sure to tickle a funny bone. And visitors can step inside the scream booth to measure the sound of their shrieks, all as Fred the Mastodon looks on."
Guests are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes so they can compete in the costume contest.
Good Night Forest, the museum’s seasonal experience, will also be open late during Night at the Boo Bash.
The experience features "colorful critters" hand-drawn by local artist Penelope Dullaghan, along with specimens from the museum’s biological collection.
Tickets are $12 per person. Members will receive a 25% discount, and advance registration is required. You can purchase tickets online here.
