Science lovers can indulge in Halloween festivities tonight at The Science Factory’s Halloween Extravaganza.
The Science Factory, which is located south of Autzen Stadium, will hold its third-annual Halloween Extravaganza from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m..
The event will feature a costume contest, planetarium show, spooky storytelling, haunted corridor and a pumpkin catapult.
A “Mad Scientist’s Lab” will invite participants to experiment with lasers, light and chemical concoctions, according to a press release.
“Kids will be able to get their hands on science,” said Tracey Edmundson, director of education for The Science Factory.
Bouncing balls and glow-in-the-dark stickers will be given to those who arrive in costume, Edmundson said.
Admission to the event is $10 for a family of four Science Factory members and $12 for a family of non-members. The cost is $4 per person.
No candy will be at event, Edmundson said. “Being a science museum, we wanted to be tooth-friendly,” she said.
