Spooky Science Festival: Halloween Hand Melt Challenge / October 25 / 3-5pm

Join Our Haunted Halloween Hand Melt Experiment for Halloween!

Celebrate Halloween with us by excavating frozen hands with themed toys trapped inside!

Why This Activity is Perfect for Everyone:

• Creative Exploration: Discover the best way to free spooky toys from icy hands. Will warm water work? What about salt? Try different methods!
• Guided Support: Our team will be there to assist and provide safety guidelines for a fun experience.
• Hands-On Experiment: Perfect for kids who love hands-on activities and experimenting with new techniques and some spooky surprises to take home

Details:

• Includes All Materials: We provide everything you need, including padded gloves and safety glasses.
• Who Can Join: Open to all ages! Best suited for kids 5-8. Younger kids can participate using water only with adult assistance.
• Registration: Advance registration is STRONGLY encouraged: We handcraft the frozen hands and need to know how many to make in advance. A few walks-ins can be accommodated and day-of payment can be made at the register.
