It’s The Children’s Museum like you’ve never seen it before – for the first time ever, the annual Haunted House is bringing all your favorite, iconic museum exhibits and experiences to life in one creepy, haunted adventure: Bewitched BOOseum!
Opening Friday, Oct. 10 and running through Halloween, the brand-new Bewitched BOOseum is an eerie mashup of The Children’s Museum’s most beloved moments and icons from its 100-year history. Founded and run entirely by The Children’s Museum Guild, the Haunted House is the museum’s biggest annual fundraiser, haunting children and families for 61 years now.
The Haunted House is one of the only in Indiana designed for all ages, with options for those who scare easily and who dare to be scared. Friendly Hours (Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; extended to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays), will have lights on, upbeat music, goodies and treats, and friendly greeters. Frightening Hours (Thursday-Saturday, 4-8 p.m.) are for thrill-seekers looking for more intense scares with haunting music, jump scarers in creepy masks, and dimmed lights. The Haunted House is fully accessible, which now includes the “spinning” vortex tunnel bridge that has become a classic for visitors.
Tickets are $8 for members, $9 for non-members. All funding from the Haunted House goes directly to supporting several museum programs including infoZone Library, free admission days, and programming for local youth.
