The Mississippi Children’s Museum (MCM) and the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science (MMNS) invite you to their spook-tacular event Park After Dark on Friday, Oct. 28 from 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

MCM has partnered with MMNS to host Park After Dark where you can enjoy two museums for one great price. You’ll find spooky science and fantastic family fun activities at this special evening event. Guests can create creepy-crawly arts, hunt for tricks and treats, and explore the LeFleur’s Bluff Playground after-hours. Guests can travel safely between both museums using the new Spotter’s Adventure Trail and wrap up the evening with special entertainment at The Den. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to wear costumes!

A shuttle will be available for free transportation between museums and overflow parking will be available at the former LeFleur’s Bluff golf course parking lot off Lakeland Drive and the northbound righthand lane of Museum Boulevard where visitors can use the sidewalk to safely access both museums.

One night, one $10 ticket, two museums! Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at www.mschildrensmuseum.org.
