get spooky at the bryan museum!

The Bryan Museum in Galveston is known for hosting Halloween Spooktacular each year! This free community event invites kids to visit the museum for two hours of games, educational activities and of course, candy! Families love everything the event has to offer, including candy stations, a costume parade, yard games, a food truck, spooky stories, fall crafts, themed photo spaces, and a ghost hunt.

As we all approach the holiday season, we are reminded of the importance of community events and the opportunities that they create for families to bond and build social skills by interacting with friends and strangers. The celebration of Halloween draws a true cross-section of the greater Galveston and Houston community who all share a love of spooky makebelieve. The picture of the “Addams Family” with their dog - “Cousin It” - is a prime example. This creatively dressed family spent much of their time posing for pictures for other attendees who stopped them to chat about their magnificent costumes. The Bryan Museum’s Halloween events are no exception. Kids are encouraged to come dressed in their favorite super hero or fantasy costume!

Community events also provide new experiences for the whole family. The Halloween craft table continues to be a favorite sensory experience for young visitors each year. Children love getting to create clay spider and monsters. This free spooky event will take place on the grounds of The Bryan Museum on Sunday, October 29 from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM. Children also receive free admission into the Museum all day.
