DOWNEY – The Columbia Memorial Space Center will host its annual Spooky Science Night in conjunction with International Observe the Moon Night on Saturday, Oct. 21, from 5-9 pm.

There will be activities and demonstrations throughout the night, including a Slime Zone.

New this year is the Spooky Sensory Yard, a hands-on experience to test your perceptions and awareness. Participants who are brave enough will feel their way through several mystery boxes.

Traditional guest favorites like the creepy robotics lab and a costume parade are also on the night’s agenda. Guests are encouraged to dress in their favorite costume.

Admission is $5 (free for space center members). Presale tickets will go on sale Oct. 3.
