Spooky Science at the Maryland Science Center

Discover and dissect creepy chemistry and scary science at this ghastly gathering. 

Mad Science of Central Maryland will join the fearsome festivities with performances of their “Halloween Spooktacular” show, bringing bubbling potions, wicked brews and electrifying effects straight from their Mad Science Lab. “Halloween Spooktacular” shows take place at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.


Ghoulish guests can create and experiment with glow-in-the-dark slime, analyze loathsome objects in Mystery Boxes, catapult pumpkins in the “Punkin’ Chunkin’” contest, and decorate pumpkins and trick-or-treat bags at decoration stations. Frankenstein’s eerie experiments will add more horror to this haunt – on display during the “Before Frankenstein’s Monster” shows. Shows take place at 12:20 p.m. and 2:20 p.m. 


Visitors are encouraged to dress to impress (and scare!) in creative costumes.
