As Halloween draws near, Fall Fest: Halloween Edition! introduces new, slightly spooky experiences for all ages. Stop by Liberty Science Center and experience North Jersey’s ultimate autumn adventure!

Little kids will love whipping up chemical elixirs in the Magic Potions Lab, trying on bat wings and learning the physics of flight in the Bat Lab, seeing what blood is made of in the Bloody Delicious Lab, and meeting some of LSC’s creepy-crawly critters in Eekology. Everyone can learn to distinguish a real mummy from a fake one in Are You My Mummy?

On weekends, turn yourself transparent in the Pepper’s Ghost Illusion Chamber and fight off zombies in the virtual reality game LSC Zombie Attack. The truly brave (age 13+ only) might venture into the Doom Zoo—a horrific walk-through workshop—home to nauseating, tormented mutants you’ve got to see to believe! Who will make it all the way to the end? And who will be added to our Tear Tally, a checklist of all the people who chickened out?

Many of our most popular outdoor Fall Fest adventures will remain open through Nov. 1! Try navigating your way out of the Spider Maze, a 4,000-sq-ft webby labyrinth unlike any corn maze you’ve ever experienced. Conquer the eight-foot-tall haystack, and enjoy the autumn season by strolling through our scarecrow hay maze.

Be sure to also stop by our indoor pumpkin patch, open on weekends. For an additional $2 donation, pick and paint your own pumpkin from New Jersey’s largest indoor pumpkin patch!

With the purchase of a Combination or Premium Pass, you can also enjoy one of our Halloween-themed theater shows! Explore the astronomical origins of Halloween in the Monsters of the Night Sky planetarium show, rock out to classic songs from the spooky season in Boo! A Halloween Laser Show, and explore a creepy haunted house in the Haunted House 3D film.

Don’t miss out on the perfect family Halloween day trip! Get tickets now.

All Fall Fest activities are free with LSC general admission. The indoor pumpkin patch is available on weekends for a $2 additional donation. The theater shows are available with the purchase of a Combination or Premium Pass.
