7th Annual Spooky Science Monster Mash Presented by the Miami DDA

Join us on Saturday, October 28th for a spine-tingling science adventure. From radical chemistry reactions to eye-catching and eerie experiments in the Mad Science Lab, you’ll spend the day doing hands-on science that’s so fun, it’s almost scary. You’ll also meet scientists from local universities and professional organizations, including the South Florida Chapter of the American Chemical Society, who are helping Frost Science celebrate National Chemistry Week.

The 7th Annual Spooky Science Monster Mash is generously presented by Miami Downtown Development Authority, and is also kindly supported by Casa Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Kiddos Magazine, Thermal Concepts Inc., and Jackson Health Systems.

Spooky Science Monster Mash programming is free with paid museum admission. To view the full programming schedule, click here.
