Your family is in for a treat, combining the excitement of spooky season with interactive, educational fun—all while making a meaningful impact! Venture into the Ghostly Glow Lab, where everything is aglow with eerie, luminescent effects. Watch as spider webs, ghostly shapes, and slime transform under changing lights. Each day, we’ll feature themed programming to enhance your spooky experience, including bubbling potions and real live creepy crawlies in Mary’s Garden.
The event’s grand spectacle is the PG&E Pumpkin Plop, where pumpkins are dropped from heights of 50 to 100 feet. Prepare to be amazed as they explode on impact! Also, keep an eye out for the giant cuttlefish mobile, and don’t miss our daily double showings of Crazy Awesome Science, featuring flames and explosive demonstrations.

All proceeds from signature events like FUNtazmagoria go toward supporting our mission to inspire curiosity and creativity through joyful, transformative experiences. Fundraisers at the Children’s Museum allow us to offer programs like our Museum Access Program, as well as allow us to function as a valuable community resource. Our goal this year is to raise $50,000, ensuring we can continue to offer programs that ignite creativity, curiosity, and a passion for learning throughout Sonoma County.
The Children’s Museum will be closed the day before and after the event
The museum will be closed to the public the Thursday before the event in order to set up all of the amazing attractions and decorations. We will also be closed Monday and Tuesday for the event break down and to give the Museum facility a much-deserved deep cleaning. We look forward to seeing visitors again during general admission the following Wednesday.
