Prepare for science “tricks and treats” as we present our most famous elixirs. We'll show you how a Mad Scientist prepares their costume with a bit of FLASH and flare! Count Eggbert eats too much Halloween candy and can’t fit into the door of his home! Cauldrons of frothing witches’ brews and warlock potions will complete your experience with the most "maddening" Halloween ever!
Free 45-minute performances will be held at 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. All virtual performances and the 1 p.m. performance will be American Sign Language interpreted. Please call 608.258.4447 if you need to be seated within sight of the interpreter for live performances. A livestream option will be available once a month.
