Hoot & Howl - Family Halloween

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompsons Point Rd Portland, ME, 04102 United States (map)

Get ready for a HOOTING good time at the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine this Halloween season!

Children and their caregivers are invited to a not-so-scary Halloween celebration designed for all ages. There is something for every feathered, furry, and festive friend! Expect a range of activities that will invite you to hoot & howl your way through museum exhibits, including indoor trick-or-treating, exploring spine-tingling animal artifacts and specimens, meeting misunderstood characters in a special interactive performance at Maddy's Theatre, and creating creepy crafts in the MakerSpace.

Tickets: $18 General Admission (CMTM members receive a 10% discount; babies under 11 months are free). Tickets include museum admission, trick-or-treat stations, a take-home craft, a small snack, and a trick-or-treat tote bag.
