Children’s Museum presents the 15th Annual Halloween Howl
For Immediate Release
October 28, 2011
WINNIPEG, MB – Want a fun night of Halloween fright DELIGHT? The Children’s Museum invites local media to join us for an evening full of spooky fun at the 15th Annual Halloween Howl on Saturday, October 29, 2011 from 6:00 – 9:00PM.
Guests can explore boo-tified galleries, participate in spooktacular activities, make “ghoul” crafts, and enjoy fang-tastic family entertainment at this year’s Halloween Howl sponsored by Great-West Life.
Tickets are $12 per person (museum members save 10%!), but people are dying to get in – so we’re encouraging families to get their tickets in advance to make sure no “body” blows a casket if they sell out! Tickets are available for purchase at the Children’s Museum’s Admissions Desk, by telephone at (204) 924-4000 or online at www.childrensmuseum.com while supplies last.
Event highlights include:
- Hear the spooky sounds coming from the haunted pumpkin patch in Time Scared
- Brave the spiders in Eerie Marsh to meet some real-life owls from Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
- Challenge the spirits that have possessed Ghost Zone to reclaim your construction blocks
- Beware the vampire fangs as you go down what was once the slide in Illusion Tunnel
- Dig the Halloween goodies (with help from the backhoe!) before boarding the Doom Train for parts unknown
- Amuse yourself with the mixture of eyeballs and body parts floating around just for the fun of it in Splash Lab
- Don’t let the prisoner escape from the Lasagna Dungeon, no matter how hard he tries to convince you to let him go!
- Make an outrageous spider to take home with you
- Experiment with the University of Winnipeg’s team of mad scientists from Let’s Talk Science as they show you how to make jack-o-lantern volcanoes and slime
- Catch an energized, glow-in-the-dark performance by WildFire Dance Productions
(*Please note: The Children’s Museum will be closing early at 4:30PM on Saturday, October 29, 2011 in order to set-up for this special event. Doors will re-open at 6:00PM.)
