Boo Art Fest Returns on October 31- with a twist!

Boo Art Fest is back at the Great Lakes Children’s Museum!

Celebrate Halloween at the Great Lakes Children’s Museum’s 2nd annual Boo Art Fest! A Boo Art Fest is what you get when you mix Halloween with a boat load of orange and black paint and then add creative kids with squirt bottles, glue sticks, and paint brushes in hand. Come expecting to get messy! (You might want to save your costumes for Halloween night)
