Halloween Programming Sponsored by INVISTA, CenterPoint Energy, and BASF

‍

Throughout October, CMH was transformed into the BOOseum—one of Houston's largest Halloween events. The entire Museum was taken over by Halloween-themed science experiments, costumed characters, and fun photo-ops. But just how big was it? Here's a breakdown, by the numbers:

• 52,000 visitors experienced the Museum in October.
• 9,000 of these visitors received free admission on Free Family Nights.
• 6,000 containers of slime were concocted by little ghosts and goblins at the BASF Power Science Lab.
• 40+ Halloween-themed workshops were presented, such as making light-up monsters during Monster Mayhem sponsored by CenterPoint Energy.
• 190 volunteers assembled 10,000 treat bags, handed out candy, and led visitors in science projects. Volunteer groups included ExxonMobil, Chevron, University of Houston College of Pharmacy, and Girl Scout Troop #4343.
• 226 hours of creepy science experiments were presented at the Science Station, sponsored by INVISTA.
