Boo Art Happenings are $1 per participant and will be staggered to allow for kids to be part of up to 3 experiences during their museum visit. Fabulous, Freaky Fun activities will be ongoing throughout the day and they are free.

Every eerie art experience is open ended and designed for kids who love to “Boo it themselves”. This will be a Covid-Conscious Event set up to limit the spread of Covid -19.

Sign up for the Boo Art Happenings ahead of time while reserving your museum tickets. There will be a limit of 10 kids per Boo Art Happening. There is no limit to the number of kids in the Fabulous, Freaky Fun activities and no reservation needed to participate.

Hope to see you there! Our paint brushes are ready for you!
