🐾 Animals in Action
Get up close with our Ambassador Animals during Animals in Action, guided by our own wildlife team. This season also holds a little extra meaning, as we take time to celebrate and remember two beloved animals who recently passed, Gunner, our North American river otter, and Dylan, our gray fox. Their spirits are very much part of this celebration.

💀 Honoring Día de los Muertos with Casa Círculo Cultural 
We know the holiday itself falls in November, but we wanted to start the celebration early this year. We're partnering with Casa Círculo Cultural to bring activities that introduce this cherished tradition, and to spend some extra time honoring the animals we've loved and lost throughout the season. Consider this our heartfelt head start.

🎨 Alebrijes with Fernando Escartiz
Look for colorful new additions around campus! Artist Fernando Escartiz joins CuriOdyssey to bring his incredible alebrije sculptures, vividly painted folk art creatures inspired by Mexican tradition, to life right before your eyes. Come learn the story behind these fantastical figures through the experience itself, and be sure to snap a photo while you're here. These one of a kind pieces are only on display for a limited time!

🧪 Fall Into Science
The museum is decked out in Halloween vibes for the season, with exhibits that pull back the curtain on the real science behind haunted houses. Think spooky sound, light, and illusion, minus the trickery.

🎃 Puking Pumpkins, Fossils & More
Round out the night with hands on favorites: erupting Puking Pumpkins in the outdoor classroom, a fossil cleaning activity with Conroy and Aurora Shum, a Ghost Scavenger Hunt, spooky Story Time by candlelight, and a nighttime visit to the Bone Zone in our Wildlife Area.
