TRAVEL BETWEEN MUSEUMS:

ACTIVITIES AT MDWFP'S MS MUSEUM OF NATURAL SCIENCE:
Halloween is the season, but Space is the theme!
The "SPACE: A Journey to Our Future" exhibit has inspired us to boldly go into SPACE as our theme for Halloween - think Astronauts, Star Wars, Star Trek, Men In Black, Dr. Who, and Buzz Lightyear!
Special activities include:
- Alien Autopsy (a giant game of Operation with a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater alien) in our Area 51
- Space Scarecrow photo opp
- The Galactic Bean Bag Toss Game
- Alien Species Round-up
- Building Straw Rockets, and more!
