You’re invited to a party to die for— a vintage prom with a post-apocalyptic twist!
Unleash your inner zombie at this 21+ event, where science and the undead meet in a night of electrifying fun. Get your brain cells ready for creepy experiments, scary dance-offs, and hair-raising games as we turn the Museum into a four-floor spooky experience.
Add a touch of decay to your best dress and come ready to enter our costume contest, play zombie roulette, learn about brain-eating organisms, and so much more.
Tickets: $25; $15 Members. You must be 21 years or older to attend. A photo ID is required for entry.
