Park After Dark 2025 graphic

Enjoy spooky science and family fun - One night, One ticket, Two museums! 

Wear your costume (optional) and join us on October 24 from 5:30 pm-8:30 pm for Park After Dark! 

On this spooky night, MDWFP's Mississippi Museum of Natural Science partners with the Mississippi Children’s Museum to host this fun and family-friendly event. 

Create creepy-crawly arts and crafts, hunt for tricks and treats, and explore LeFleur’s Bluff Playground after hours. Check in at either museum and travel safely between both museums using Spotter’s Adventure Trail. Wrap up the evening with a costume parade and special entertainment at The Den. 

This year we are embracing  a carnival theme, complete with a candy wheel, fortune teller, stilt-walkers,  the mermaid photo opp, mystery tattoos, and more!

Come dressed for the carnival and enjoy an evening of spook-tacular science and carnival treats!
