Fright at the Museum

Fright at the Museum

Something has gone terribly wrong inside the Nevada State Museum, Carson City. After dark, toxic ooze distorts the exhibit halls into a place of horrors, revealing terrifying history that should have stayed in Nevada’s past. Descend into the historic Mint Building’s basement catacombs for a behind-the-screams tour as the museum’s secrets come alive.

Join us for a Halloween block party! Put on your favorite costume and enjoy an evening of tricks, treats, and spooky-not-scary fun, perfect for little ones.
