Scoop, Squish, Create, and More! Pumpkin Palooza is full of fun, not frightening festivities for the whole family. Come in costume and celebrate the season with DCM. This event engages visitors in creative experiences that explore S.T.E.A.M. concepts through play.

Special Activities:

• Spooky Science Show (10:00 & 11:00)

  Using recycled toy parts, visitors can create their own unique play…thing or break apart a toy and figure out how it all fits together.
  
• Create wearable art
• Brew your own gooey slime
• Mix and mash pumpkin guts
  Piles of pumpkin guts never looked so fun. Hammer nails into pumpkins then smoosh and explore what’s inside. Exciting experiments await.

  Scatter and rake leaves that dance in our giant air tunnel!
  
• Webby Ramps & Rollers
  Will the webs change the course?
• Mini Pumpkin Float
