WILTON — Western Maine Play Museum will host a “Not So Scary Halloween Bash” from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26,
Events will include a spooky story time sing-along, costume parade, pumpkin carving, games, special kitchen programming and more. Visitors can also be the first to experience a transformed Dark Room (goodbye light table play and hello what?) and Halloween games and sensory play in the Train Room.
All of the day’s events are free with museum admission admission ($7 a person or free with membership; those 12 months or under are also admitted free). There is an extra fee for face painting and the picture booth, both of which are fundraisers for future events.
Later that night, the museum will host WMPM After Hours from 7 to 9 p.m. for grownups, which will also be Halloween-themed but just for grown-ups.
There will be two break-out sessions similar to an escape room, but instead of breaking out of a confined space, participants will solve puzzles and breaking in to a heavily locked box of goodies.
Each session takes approximately 45 minutes and costumes are encouraged. While waiting, attendees are encouraged to play with exhibits, make new friends and enjoy snacks (which are provided) and beverages (which are BYO — beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages only).
The event is $5 a person and those planning to attend must RSVP to joni@westernmaineplay.org.
The museum will also have a WMPM After Hours with a women’s clothing swap on Nov. 16. More information will be available at www.facebook.org/westernmaineplaymuseum.
