Halloween at the Museum

  • Family and kids
  • Nightlife

Melbourne Museum is bringing Halloween back! This year they have even more family-friendly adventures and adult-only escapades to ensure that no matter who you are, the Melbourne Museum is your number one Halloween dress-up party destination.

Families can enjoy a range of frightfully fun activities including trick-or-treating, face painting, science shows, collectable skeleton cards and a scavenger hunt. For the more adventurous, adults can immerse themselves in ghostly tales, and a haunted history experience. A special grown-ups-only zone will open from 8pm, with eerie surprises awaiting those brave enough to venture in.

Event details:
Halloween early entry: From 5.30pm (scare-free start to the event, family-friendly programming)
Halloween Full Moon Experience: 6.30pm – 7.30pm (fast-track access and special show)
Halloween at the Museum: 7.00pm – 12.00am (kids-only zones until 10.00pm, adults-only zones from 8.00pm)
