Not-So-Scary Stuff
The Spider Maze

When? Every day from Oct. 21-29, 10 am to close
Better To Smell You With, My Dear
Bones tell us many things about an animal's life. In LSC's Our Hudson Home lab, take measurements of real animal skulls to determine which species had the strongest sense of smell.

Kinda Scary Stuff (...but really not THAT scary!)
The Zombie Foodie
Meet the Zombie Foodie! She used to be your average hipster food blogger who wrote about kale, but then she got bit by a zombie and now she writes about animal organs.
In her humorous presentation, you'll learn all about animal organs, and even see real animal hearts, stomachs, livers, intestines, and lungs.
The Zombie Foodie is recommended for ages 8 and up.
When? Oct. 28 and 29, 11:30 am, 12:30 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm
VERY Scary Stuff! Beware!
Doom Zoo
In this terrifying walkthrough, you'll meet the abominable half-human, half-animal creations of a mad scientist. Be careful – he's always looking for new test subjects...
The Doom Zoo is bigger and scarier than ever this year. This experience is NOT recommended for kids under 13.
When? Oct. 21, 22, 28, 29, 12 pm-2 pm, 3 pm-5 pm
