Mumford, October 9, 2018 - Halloween is coming to Genesee Country Village & Museum on October 26 and 27. This year, the museum will offer a variety of trick-or-treating experiences that appeal to kids of all ages. On Friday evening there will be tricks and treats for everyone to enjoy in the candle-lit Historic Village, plus tweens and teens can now boost the thrill factor as they gather around the campfire for marshmallow toasting and spine-tingling tales of the supernatural. Under cover of darkness, the village will play host to flashlight games and visits with some familiar characters from a galaxy far, far away. Face-painting stations will also get an upgrade to include custom henna art and faux wounds to add the final touch to any costume.
On Saturday afternoon the tricks take on a more lighthearted feel as kids collect treats from the village houses, including stops sporting allergy-aware teal pumpkins. Guests can enjoy not-so-spooky seasonal tales as they toast marshmallows around the campfire, get active playing games like “bat and moth,” visit the Glamour Girls face-painting station, and meet some intergalactic visitors. Guests for both days are encouraged to bring their own flashlights and candy bags to maximize their fun.
Advance tickets are available through the museum’s website, https://www.gcv.org/events/trick-or-treating/ and are valid for either day. Same-day tickets may be purchased at the door. Youth ages 1-17: $8/ Member Youth ages 1-17: $5. All children under the age of 1 and all adults accompanying children are free.
