EVENT DESCRIPTION -
For the Scary event - Follow your tour guide in groups of up to 10 through The Thunder Bay Museum galleries, encountering the nightmares of the phantoms who haunt the halls looking for justice. Your terror will last approximately 45 minutes. Science North will also offer a brief respite partway through your flight of fear for learning against your will.
Note that this experience involves fake smoke, strobe lights, and intense images and sound, and it could cause significant mental stress and is not suitable for all persons. Please use your best judgment for you and your guests.
For the Family Friendly Event - sign up for 2 hour session to explore the spooky galleries and visit Science North stations.
Once you survive your tour, visit the Museum's gift shop and pick up some great books and gifts.
