Our Dinosaur Halloween Party promises a bone-rattling good time for all ages, filled with ferocious fun and monstrous memories. Our Museum will be transformed into a land lost in time with our friends from Pennsylvania Dinosaurs. We cannot wait to see all the dinosaurs and future paleontologists. Embark on a dino-tastic xcavation adventure. Young paleontologists can dig for fossils in our excavation pit, discovering hidden treasures and ancient mysteries. Test your agility with dino-themed games like “Pin the Tail on the Dinosaur”. Plus, enjoy coloring stations and a crafting corner to make your own dinosaur fossils. Prepare for a Halloween adventure unlike any other—a world where the past meets the present, where laughter echoes through the ages, and where dinosaurs reign supreme. We can’t wait to celebrate this spooky season with you at our Dinosaur Halloween Costume Party! Roar with us and make history together.
