Nevada State Museum brings Halloween to life with Trunk-or-Treat, Haunted House
CARSON CITY, NV – Celebrate Halloween a week early with back-to-back spooktacular events at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City!
Halloween Block Party and Truck-or-Treat (Family-Friendly for all ages!)
On Friday night, October 24, the Nevada State Museum hosts a free family-friendly Halloween Block Party Trunk-or-Treat event from 5-8 p.m. along N. Curry Street between Robinson and Washington featuring vehicles that are ornately decorated in the Halloween spirit… and teeming with candy!
Parts of the Museum will be open and free as well, including the ghost town and underground mine exhibits, which feature light-hearted haunts that are sure to make everyone in the family smile.
There will also be a “Spooky Critters” Curator’s Corner set up in the Dema Guinn Concourse, two food trucks—CandyBurger and Bubbly Waffle Hub—in our front parking lot, and shopping in the Museum Store!
Reservations for trunk-or-treat spaces can be made by filling out online registration or by contacting Store Manager Cayce Weislow at c.weislow@nevadaculture.org or 775-687-0662.
Fright at the Museum (Big kids and grown ups only!)
Then, on Saturday, October 25, bewitching hour at the Nevada State Museum takes a dark turn with “Fright At the Museum” haunted house from 6-9 p.m. Visitors who dare will start out on a guided behind-the-scenes tour into the historic basement “catacombs” of the old Mint building, where visitors rarely get to go… and even fewer return from! But suddenly, deep inside the building’s blackened bowels and haunted recesses, something goes horribly wrong during the tour.
Prepare for a night of thrills, chills and “toxic spills” as the Museum literally comes alive—the result of a terrifying “behind-the-screams” catastrophe! Fearful surprises lurk around every corner, even under your feet! So, mind every step and be sure to stick close to one another, because this year’s haunt is bigger and scarier than ever before!
Ages 10 and up only. NOT APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. Admission is $15 per person and paid at the Museum Store, which will be open for shopping until 9 p.m.
“Fright At the Museum” is a fundraiser for the Nevada State Museum, helping to pay for its programming and outreach. The Nevada State Museum, located at 600 N. Carson Street in Carson City, is dedicated to preserving and promoting Nevada’s cultural and natural heritage.
