SPECIAL EVENT SERIES
Weekends in October
Union Terminal
When October hits, your ghost or goblin is looking for any opportunity to show off their costume. We’re giving you a chance to scare up some fun this Halloween season. While there won’t be trick-or-treating, there will be plenty of entertainment throughout the museums and themed treats available to purchase at Cup & Pint and the Coffee Cart. From dancing the Monster Mash and costume parades to creepy crawlies and science experiments, Weekends at the BOO!seum are all treats and no tricks.
