Temporarily Closed - Now Offering Virtual Camps!
Looking for ways to celebrate Halloween in the safety of your home this year? Our seasonal themed STEM Kits are here! Each kit comes with 7 hands-on activities supplemented by written and video instructions. We’ve captured some of the Haunted Lab’s favorite experiments and packaged them up for you to enjoy! Make Spooky Slime, Creeping Crystals and Bubbling Balloons to name a few!
This kit includes all materials needed (except for water) for all 7 activities!
Kits are designed for elementary aged children and some activities require grown-up supervision. Fun for the whole family!
Reserve your kit(s) today! Curbside pick-up is offered every Saturday in October through October 31.
