Join us for the Discovery Museum’s sixth annual Batty Ball! This year’s theme, “A Pirate’s Life For Me,” will be lots of fun. The museum will offer crafts and games with a pirate theme. So be prepared to sing a good “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me!” during the Oct. 27 event from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Come in through our famous spooky entrance to find the museum transformed into a carnival of pirate revelry. Games, prizes, and crafts will be accompanied by spooky decorations.
During the evening of family fun, we will present our famous costume parade to show off all of the guests’ costumes. The Discovery Museum staff will judge and award prizes: for funniest, scariest, and most creative costumes, plus two grand prizes for the best pirate-themed costumes.
Come dressed in your costume and get ready to shimmy, because the night will culminate in an exciting dance party!
Arr!
