Zombies, Lasers and Cocktails: Hudson County Halloween Event 2016

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — How can it get better than zombies and lasers?

On Thursday, Oct. 20, the Liberty Science Center will hold “Zombtoberfest” as part of its LSC After Dark party series, which features cocktails, food, music, dancing and laser shows.

According to a LSC event posting, the event will allow visitors to “feast on beer, brains and delicious snacks.” It will also include:

• The “horrific Doom Zoo”
• A costume contest
• A new laser show in the IMAX Dome Theater
• Exhibits throughout the building such as the Touch Tunnel, Infinity Climber and Rock Wall

Tickets are $15 per person; for $6 more, visitors can also access the LSC premium exhibition, Bodies Revealed – “an artful and fascinating exhibit featuring real human specimens respectfully preserved and displayed.” There is a $5 additional charge for tickets purchased at the door on the night of the event.

As for costumes, here’s what the LSC has to say:

“We encourage everyone to get imaginative with their costumes – they don’t need to be zombie-centric. However, please know that no real or fake guns will be allowed at the party, and all costume weapons must be made out of foam, plastic or resin. Tips must have a rounded edge. All props must be inspected and cleared by LSC security prior to entering the facility. LSC reserves the right to not let certain items inside the building.”
