It’s hard to beat a Halloween party that features actual mummies and skeletons in the flesh – so to speak. This coming Halloween, the Houston Museum of Natural Science is inviting you to a conjuring of mixers and elixers at the museum, filled with spellbinding gems, live music, DJ sessions, and a slew of food trucks!
If you thought science was scary in school, wait ’til you take a trip out to the Houston Museum of Natural Science this October. On Friday, October 31, the museum will come alive for a ghostly night of fun and fright from 9 pm to 1 am.
Here, you can get spellbound as you sip on bewitching cocktails, put “boogie” in boogyman to an assortment of live music and DJs, including DJ SkaDean, as well as out-of-this-world karaoke in the Burke Baker Planetarium. The museum will have a lineup of food vendors on site if all the brains get you hungry. Additionally, HMNS will also host a special screening of 28 Days Later at the Wortham Giant Screen Theatre.
All flours of the Houston Museum of Natural Science will be open during the event, with visitors encouraged to roam and explore at their own ris. Costumes are highly encouraged at the event; at 10 pm, the museum will be awarding titles to the best group costume and best costume at 11 pm.
“Our bones shake and shiver but not from fright,” the museum wrote in a post on Instagram. “This year’s hauntingly spectral jig lies on Halloween night and our excitement is almost scary. Expect the chills to be thorough and the thrills to linger.”
Spirits & Skeletons comes alive at the HMNS located at 5555 Hermann Park Dr. on Friday, October 31, from 9 pm – 1 am; tickets are on sale now starting at $60 for members, $70 for non-members. VIP options are also available.
