This October, Discovery Cube Orange County and Los Angeles invites all witches, wizards, ghosts, and goblins to celebrate Halloween on both campuses with several special events and festivities. Starting Friday through Sunday, Oct. 27, kids of all ages are invited to experience the perfect formula of tricks and treats resulting in scientifically silly Halloween activities.
Discovery Cube Los Angeles is hosting a weekend-only event, Enchanted Halloween, on Saturday, Oct. 12, 19, and 26 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. This event is perfect for friends, families, and anyone who loves the magic of the season and includes several family-friendly activities including trick-or-treating, glow in the dark light up activities, spooky science booths, magicians, costume parades, and so much more.
Discovery Cube Orange County will be hosting the third annual Pumpkin Palooza presented by OC Waste & Recycling starting Friday through Sunday, Oct. 27, where guests can immerse themselves in two floors of thrilling activities, special party night festivities, and spooky science activities. As a special trick and treat this year, guests can rock the night away at Pumpkin Palooza Party Nights during select dates with an electrifying nighttime version of the ever-popular daytime dance party and festival complete with a DJ spinning a wicked mix of monster mashups, eerie lights, and hauntingly good vibes.
Discovery Cube is challenging families to “say boo to landfills” at the Orange County campus. Guests are encouraged not to let their pumpkins go to waste by participating in composting classes presented by OC Waste & Recycling in Discovery Cube Orange County’s Healthy Kitchen. Participants will learn how to compost pumpkins instead of sending them to landfills, where they release methane gas, a potent contributor to climate change.
Come for the education and stay for the fun! Pumpkin Palooza is also featuring two floors of fun starting with the ghoul-favorite Halloween festival stationed on the museum’s first floor. Guests can hop into Boo’s Bumper Cars and zoom around a track while learning the laws of motion, navigate through mind-bending Crazy Mazes, and explore the awe-inspiring Pumpkinology 101 where they can create glow-in-the-dark slime, measure pumpkins using “pi,” and test their speed with a marble run race. Plus, don’t miss the life-size pumpkin house and interactive pumpkin science demos.
The fun doesn’t stop there — head to the second floor’s Showcase Theater for the electrifying Pumpkin Palooza Dance Party. Dance the day away with a giant, 20-foot DJ pumpkin named “Jack-o-Lynn,” who will be spinning today’s hottest dance hits mixed with Halloween favorites.
Tickets for both Halloween experiences are on sale now at: www.discoverycube.org. Please note, Discovery Cube general admission is required.
