Houston, brace yourselves for a spooky, sky-high Halloween extravaganza at Lone Star Flight Museum! On Saturday, October 19th, 2024, the aviation museum opens its doors to welcome all the little witches, wizards, and superheroes to a unique, thrilling Halloween event: Halloween in the Hangar!

What’s in Store? Fright, Fun, and Flight!

Forget the same old haunted houses! This year, let your kids experience Halloween with a twist. Lone Star Flight Museum’s historic aircraft will transform into a haunted hangar where kids can trick-or-treat among planes from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.. And that’s just the beginning! Your little engineers can unleash their creative superpowers with fun-filled STEM activities like crafting their very own Bat Glider or Halloween Helicopter.

Not only will kids craft spooky masterpieces, but they can also put their engineering skills to the test with the Egg Drop Challenge—where they’ll see if they can design a contraption that will protect their egg from a daring one-story fall. It’s a real “crack-up” of an event!
