Exploration Place
300 North McLean Boulevard
Join us for a family-friendly party that embraces the fun and silly side of Halloween.
Trick-or-treat your way through the exhibits, play Halloween games and participate in hands-on science experiments.
Wear your costumes and invite your friends – BooFest is going to be a blast!
Trick-or-Treat
Kids and grown-ups can visit candy stations sprinkled throughout the exhibits. Collect sweet and fun treats to take home!
Hands-On Science Experiments
Use a vortex of air to knock down ghosts and hold fire bubbles in the palm of your hand. Experience Halloween fun in a way that only Exploration Place can provide!
Halloween Games
A party just isn’t the same without the games. We’re bringing back the nostalgic Halloween fun!
Cookie Walk
Like a cake walk… but less messy. Step on a number and make your way around the circle while the music plays. When the music stops we’ll call a number to win a Halloween cookie or treat!
Explore the Exhibits
Take Halloween to a whole new level with our hands-on exhibits! Be a princess, knight or dragon in the castle at Where Kids Rule, or be a pilot in Design, Build, Fly!
Costumes
Show off your Halloween costume in a fun, clean environment that doesn’t have mosquitoes or unpredictable weather. No muddy footprints here!
