Children dance with Radio ONE DJs and costumed monster characters, collect candy at five trick-or-treat stations around the galleries, and can catch a Halloween-themed hip-hop version of Jack and the Beanstalk by The Ensemble Theatre in the Brown Auditorium at 6:30 pm. Trick-or-treating starts at 4 pm and the party runs 5 to 8 pm, with last entry at 7:45 pm. Admission is free for all ages, so expect crowds; come in costume and arrive early for the play. ## Similar picks in Houston - [Halloween SpookTacular at The Woodlands Children's Museum](https://grassyknees.com/houston/activities/halloween-spooktacular-at-the-woodlands-children-s-museum--listing-0c0f7a6c3a228358ca4ad16b) — Fri, Oct 30 (+1 more date) · 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM · The Woodlands Children's Museum · Up to 7 · From $6 · checked Oct 24.
