(
October is one of my favorite months. The leaves start to change and the weather is (usually) beautiful. I love hot apple cider, bond fires, and, of course, Halloween!
At the museum, October is a MAJOR month. The Children's Museum Guild, a group of 100 volunteer women, works tirelessly for more than a year to put on an incredible Haunted House that provides Halloween fun for kids of all ages (there are friendly and frightening hours). The Haunted House is also a fundraiser with all of the proceeds befitting The Children's Museum of Indianapolis.
As opening day of the Haunted House approaches (it runs Oct. 15–31), we start to see all of the subtle touches that make this month and event so special. Bats hanging from the ceiling in the Welcome Center. Window clings on the sliding doors. A bench featuring Vic and Viv, this year's mascots. Witch hats on the dinosaurs outside. If you're looking to get in the mood for Halloween, just stop by the museum! The detail that you see before you enter the house is nothing compared to the detail they put into the house. Every time I walk through I see something different.
This year the Guild has another special surprise for you too. They're bringing back The Haunted House Shuffle. This is a song and dance that was created in the '80s just for the Guild and our Haunted House. It's a classic! In This Week's WOW, watch footage from the original Haunted House Shuffle mixed with the new dance. I promise it will make you smile especially if you love the 80s!
