This Halloween, step into a world of mystery, wonder, and imagination at the Detroit Historical Museum. This free, family-friendly experience is designed for children who benefit from a reduced-sensory environment, offering a calm and welcoming way to celebrate Halloween.
Explore The Streets of Old Detroit at your own pace as the museum transforms into a world of curious characters, fantastical discoveries, and a little Halloween magic. Enjoy a Halloween scavenger hunt, crafts and coloring, and other activities and surprises along the way. Costumes are welcome, and families can choose how they experience the event, with plenty of room to wander, pause, and explore at their own pace.
Come ready to wonder and discover what’s waiting around the next corner in a safe, inclusive, and enchanting Halloween experience designed to make the magic of the season accessible to more families.
Limit 6 tickets per family.
This session is perfect for children and adults who may be sensitive to loud noises, bright lights, or need a quieter environment to enjoy the festivities. This session is reserved for participants and their families who require a sensory-friendly experience.
We kindly ask that you only sign up for this time if you or a family member needs a quieter, sensory-sensitive environment to fully enjoy the event. There is limited capacity to maintain the environment and a limit of six tickets per family. Thank you for your understanding!
Please note: As part of our community Halloween celebration for families, we ask that no costumes be worn that promote the use of illegal substances or activities or are derogatory, disrespectful or depict violence.
Additionally, no weapons or depictions of weapons (nun-chucks/sickles/swords/knives/guns, etc.) will be allowed in the museum.
We will not admit anyone wearing a costume that includes any of the above.
Thank you for helping us keep this a family friendly event!
