Stretch your muscles and drag your bones to the Bradbury Science Museum for the 13th High-Tech Halloween on Friday (October 26).
The theme of this year’s event is "Skeletons." High-Tech Halloween is from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
“Come to the Bradbury and discover the amazing world of skeletons! And while you are here, drop by the human bone room and put together a human skeleton, look at spines, skulls, and the smallest bones in the human body—ear bones,” said Liz Martineau, museum educator.
Families also are invited to work together to identify animal skulls, watch owl pellet dissections, examine dinosaur bone fossils, solve x-ray mysteries, and much more, according to Martineau.
“You don't need a costume to gain admission into this annual event at the Bradbury Science Museum but it will add to the highly charged atmosphere of fun science. This year, we also will be having the Give a Hoot! non-perishable food (such as canned foods) donation to benefit Northern New Mexican families in need,” said Martineau.
High-Tech Halloween is held in conjunction with Los Alamos's Trick or Treat on Mainstreet activities organized by downtown merchants. Activities are geared for the elementary school age student, but almost any age will see that fun and learning come easily on this evening, said Martineau.
Registration is not needed, but parents or responsible adults are asked to accompany their children.
The Bradbury Science Museum is located at 15th Street and Central Avenue in downtown Los Alamos. The museum is open seven days a week except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Museum hours apart from special events are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday and Monday. Admission is free.

The Bradbury Science Museum is part of the Community Programs Office (CPO).
