This October, Halloween is taking over Gilbert House Children's Museum in a whole new way.
HALLOWEEN RE-ENGINEERED is coming—and it's going to be absolutely spooky.
Imagine trick-or-treating through our historic houses. Picture a haunted Erector Set maze. Envision festive surprises around every corner, costumes encouraged, and endless play everywhere you look.
This isn't your typical Halloween event. We're transforming the inside of our museum into a cozy, festive wonderland where families can explore, treat themselves to candy, and make spooky memories together.
