Great Hall-oween Haunt

Join The Durham Museum and other community organizations like The Rose Theater, Fontenelle Forest, NE SciFest and Omaha Children’s Museum for some trick-or-treating fun! Come in costume and snag sweets from historical characters and spooktacular displays located throughout the museum. You can try your hand at ghostly games and creepy crafts in the Swanson Gallery. Don’t forget to check out our spooky but not scary Haunted Train and “crawl” your way through the Cobweb Caboose. Stop by our historic Soda Fountain to indulge in some extra sweet Halloween treats. Plus, the crowd favorite dancing zombies are back courtesy of UNO’s The Moving Company. Come in costume, grab some candy and enjoy the frightful fun!
