Something mysterious is happening at the Joliet Area Historical Museum, and the suspects aren't talking.
On Saturday, October 24, kids in grades K–6 throw on their costumes and become junior detectives at STEAM Spooktacular, a free Halloween event for families in the Joliet area, presented by the After the Peanut Foundation.
It's a STEM-tastic, boo-tiful morning of mystery. The fun starts the moment they walk in. Kids chase clues from station to station, getting hands-on with spooky science experiments, creative builds, and puzzles that bring them one step closer to cracking the case.
And no monster mash is complete without a soundtrack. Plainfield School of Rock takes the stage with live music to keep the whole family moving.
