Get ready for an unforgettable experience at the Children’s Museum’s annual FUNtazmagoria event! This one-of-a-kind seasonal celebration is perfect for families, offering a blend of spooky fun that’s spooky not scary. Step into our Mad Scientist Lab for a walk-through adventure filled with potions, creepy critters, and electrifying experiments. Don’t forget to say hello to our resident Mad Scientists as you explore!
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 go toward supporting our mission to inspire curiosity and creativity through joyful, transformative experiences. Fundraisers like FUNtazmagoria 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.
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.
