Miami Children’s Museum | 16th Annual Not So Scary Halloween Bash
South Florida’s premier institution for interactive and engaging early childhood learning raised $225,000 in support of the Museum’s mission to inspire children through the power of play, learning, and creativity.
The Miami Children’s Museum, South Florida’s premier institution for interactive and engaging early childhood learning through art, science, culture, and literacy, celebrated a major success at its 16th annual Not So Scary Halloween Bash, raising over $225,000 in support of the Museum’s mission to inspire children through the power of play, learning, and creativity. The beloved annual event, generously supported by Arison Arts Foundation, offered families a safe, age-appropriate way to celebrate Halloween without the late-night scares.
Presented by Terra, co-chaired by longtime Museum supporters Marissa Neufeld and Lydia Pinnell-Lawrie, this year’s bash hosted over 1,500 guests to embrace the Halloween spirit in their most imaginative costumes. Families enjoyed an immersive trick-or-treating adventure through the museum’s 17 interactive galleries, along with mini pumpkin decorating, spooky science-themed arts and crafts, and a Haunted House that delivered thrills for all ages. Lunch was provided by Diced, with additional treats and activities courtesy of the Museum’s many generous sponsors.
The Bash continues to be one of Miami’s most anticipated family events, raising critical funds to support the Museum’s educational programs, helping guarantee immersive, hands-on learning experiences for South Florida children of all backgrounds and abilities.
