Calendar of Events

Get ready for a hauntingly good time at The Discovery’s 14th annual Halloween Trick or Treat. Visit the museum in costume and trick-or-treat from gallery to gallery. There’ll be spooky decorations and delicious treats for all the friendly or scary ghosts, ghouls and goblins who dare to attend. Advance tickets are suggested, but not required. A note about costumes: For the safety of all visitors, costumes with weapons of any kind are not allowed.     

Come on over to Spark!Lab Smithsonian and use fabric scraps and craft supplies to design a costume for a mannequin or doll. The dolls/mannequins are not take home, but the costumes are! Please note: This activity includes access to tools and materials that can be dangerous if used improperly. Parents are encouraged to help young inventors use the tools and materials safely in this space.
