This Halloween, kids can become mad scientists at Flandrau: The UA Science Center.

Parents can "rest in peace" as the science center opens its doors for five spooktacular nights of safe fun and festivities, featuring educational chills and thrills galore.

Spooktacular Science offers families plenty of fun-filled spooky science activities and games for kids of all ages in a safe and educational environment. Each night will offer something a little different, including a haunted asteroid cave and hands-on science activities. There will be plenty of treats and trinkets and a special Halloween gift for kids dressed in costume.

Spooktacular Science is presented by Flandrau: The UA Science Center, BIO5, Hands-on Optics, NOAO, the Society for Neuroscience Tucson Chapter, the Physics Factory, Students for the Exploration and Development of Space and the Chemistry Club.
