All the little ghosts and goblins along with their families were treated to a boo-tiful time at Miami Children’s Museum’s “Not So Scary Family Halloween Bash!” on Sunday, October 15th. The event raised $100,000, which will directly support the Museum’s educational programming and the Very Important Potential Program which provides free admission, scholarships, events and programs for children living in Miami’s under-served communities.
Considered one of Miami’s best Family Halloween events, costumed trick-or-treaters made their candy collecting way around the Museum’s galleries. Families had a bewitching time creating miniature pumpkin and sugar skulls, face painting, dancing the Monster Mash and eating delectable treats. This year, the Museum also added a new toddler area including a variety of sensory bins featuring pumpkin guts and fake spider webs, spooky story time and a haunted music play led by the Museum’s Theater Troupe. Guests also enjoyed Miami’s best family friendly haunted house. This 2,500 square foot Haunted House can be as scary as you want it to be, but what makes this one special is its unique collection of zombies, ghosts and haunting music and sounds.
Co-Chairs for the event were Michal & Adam Kuperstein and Kelly & Chris Melchiondo. Sponsors for the event included Pollo Tropical as the official Bites Sponsor providing lunch for all guests. Mayfield Creamery was the official ice cream sponsor along with Golden Sands General Contractors as the event’s Haunted Activity sponsor.

At the Miami Children's Museum, learning is made fun and exciting through interactive play. Kids learn and grow by exploring each exhibit, which encourages curiosity and hands-on discovery. This approach helps children build important thinking and problem-solving skills while having a great time.
We use a hands-on approach to learning, which matches current educational ideas. This way, kids understand more and remember what they learn. They can try activities like building, making music, or exploring a pretend ocean, following their interests and learning at their own speed. This freedom helps kids develop a love for learning that lasts.
We also make sure our exhibits are accessible and fun for all children, no matter their abilities. This focus on inclusivity means every child can take part and benefit from what we offer. It shows our important role in helping kids learn and bringing families together.
We feature exhibits that inspire curiosity and imagination in kids. Here’s a look at some of our most popular attractions that both children and parents enjoy.
The Castle of Dreams welcomes kids into a magical space where they can use their imaginations. Children can pretend to be knights, princesses, or dragons with dress-up areas and storytelling corners. A small castle makes the experience even more fun, letting kids invent their own stories.
The Ocean Odyssey exhibit takes kids on an underwater adventure in the middle of Miami. It shows bright displays of ocean life, including coral reefs and touch tanks where children can feel sea creatures. Kids can also learn about why protecting the ocean matters through fun, interactive panels.
The Music Makers Studio is a fun place where kids can explore music. They can try digital keyboards, drums, and even record their own sounds. Kids enjoy this studio because it lets them be creative and express themselves through music.
The Health & Wellness Center turns learning about healthy habits into a fun adventure. Kids can try activities that teach about fitness and good nutrition in a playful way. They can run obstacle courses, play games about healthy eating, and even pretend to shop for groceries.
In the Construction Zone, kids become young builders and engineers. They use blocks and tools to create everything from simple towers to complex structures. Working together on projects helps them practice problem-solving, teamwork, and spatial skills.
These exhibits bring families together by making learning fun. Each one uses play to spark curiosity and help kids understand new things.
