A NIGHT OF LIGHT FRIGHTS It’s that time of year again, when Orlando Science Center transforms into a spooky science playground for our upcoming members-only Halloween bash: Pumpkins & Protons Party! On Friday, October 24, OSC Members will bring their little monsters, superheroes, and mad scientists for a night of safe, silly, and slightly spooky fun activities. This beloved tradition has been delighting families for over a decade. Originally known as
Spooktacular, the event got its new name in 2017 thanks to a staff/volunteer naming contest. Members participated in a poll to select their favorite suggestions and Pumpkins & Protons Party has become our most popular member event of the year ever since! Guests will enjoy a variety of “spooktivities,” including live science demos, creepy crafts, hands-on lab experiments, and a special appearance by the one-and-only GHOSTFLUSTERS! Tickets are just $2 and must be purchased online in advance. This event wouldn’t be possible without the teamwork of OSC staff and volunteers across many departments. From planning and marketing to
night-of magic and post-event debriefs, your dedication makes this celebration a success year after year.
Thanks for helping us make science spooky and spectacular. Looking forward to seeing you at this year's party!
