Treats Trump Tricks at Not So Spooky Spectacular set for October 29

(Dover NH) -- The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire is hosting its annual Not-So-Spooky Spectacular on Saturday, October 29 from 10 am – 3 pm, with a focus on fun rather than fright. This event is generously underwritten by Laconia Savings Bank.

- Fancy costumes to try on donated by Ballet New England

- Face painting

- Hands-on pumpkin projects

“This time of year, there are many activities that are all about being as scary as possible,” explained Jane Bard, Director of Education at the Children’s Museum of NH. “We like to provide an alternative for families with young children by creating an environment that’s fun and engaging, with just a hint of spookiness. Our ‘bat cave’ is lit up with white and orange lights, and our festive decorations are friendly ones. Our Wacky Scientist is sure to delight visitors with surprising science demonstrations and experiments for all to try. It’s a positive experience for all.”

Not-So-Spooky Spectacular activities are included the museum’s regular price of admission: $9 for adults and children, $8 for seniors age 65+, and free for children under one year old.
