Halloween at the Museum

Overview

The Melbourne Museum's hugely successful Halloween celebration returns for 2025, making it the perfect spot for lovers of all things spooky. On Friday, October 31, families can get a thrill with special kids' activities, while adults can explore something a little scarier throughout the night.

For families, there's trick-or-treating, face painting, science shows, collectable skeleton cards and kids-only zones. Families can also take the experience to the next level with the full-moon package: a VIP offering that includes early entry, a treat from the Star Wars Galactic Café, a premium showbag, exclusive access to Lego Star Wars: The Exhibition, and entry to Treasures of the Viking Age: The Galloway Hoard.

For adults, Halloween frights start from 8pm and go until midnight. If you're in the mood for spirits, there's an adults-only zone where you can grab a drink at the tavern, try a slime shot and watch a horror movie marathon. You'll also get the chance to watch an adults-only science show, with horrific experiments and jokes for grown-up ears.

General entry tickets start at $19 for children and up to $39 for adults, while special tickets range from $115–$134 . Purchase tickets for this Halloween-night-only event from the Melbourne Museum Website.
