Halloween is back for family fun at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center

Annual Science Spooktacular going virtual

HOUSTON – This year’s Science Spooktacular at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center will be virtual due to the pandemic. Their main goal is to keep everyone safe, so they decided to get a bit creative with their attractions without cutting back on the spooky. Families will be able to enjoy daily activities all this week ranging from spooky bedtime stories to creating your own slime in a fun science show. You’ll even have the chance to visit the Arboretum and put your nature knowledge to the test on our Halloween Trail!
