Haunted Museum 2025
Saturday, October 4 | 5–9 pm

Out on an adventure, a spooky crew gets stuck––
Was it just water, or a twist of bad luck?
This sticky situation truly is bizarre,
Because no one wants to get trapped in the tar.

Kick off Halloween season at the Member-exclusive Haunted Museum event at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County! Join us after-hours as the museum transforms into a world of spine-tingling and thrilling experiences, including:

  • Unleashing your black cat energy at Fierce! The Story of Cats— a pawsitively exciting new and immersive exhibition bringing you face-to-face with the mysterious world of cats.
  • Encounters with NHM’s team of scientists and researchers as you uncover the hidden curiosities and wonders of the natural world.
  • Solving a sticky mystery as you participate in an interactive scavenger hunt with the fearless citizens of Autumn Valley.
  • Kicking off the night with some Brews and Boos before dancing into the Halloween spirit with spine-tingling monster-mashing tunes.
  • Savory bites and delicious sweet treats from local food trucks available for purchase throughout the evening.
