The museum supplies the pumpkins and the paints, and children bring their own ideas, decorating a pumpkin to take home and then exploring the museum's collection of aircraft, spacecraft and aerospace artifacts, from the Spruce Goose to space exhibits. The activity is limited to the first 75 children under 13 who come with paid museum admission, so arriving early in the day is the safest plan. Glitter is not provided, and painted pumpkins may need time to dry before the trip home, so a box or bag for the car helps. It pairs well with a full museum visit for families looking for a low-key Halloween outing in Yamhill County. ## Similar picks coming up in Portland - [No-School Day Camps at the North American Aerospace Museum](https://grassyknees.com/portland/activities/no-school-day-camps-at-the-north-american-aerospace-museum--listing-4cd9a8df6fadf17d71f1e751) — Fri, Nov 6 (+1 more date) · 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM · NORAM Titan Pavilion, North American Aerospace Museum, McMinnville · Paid · checked Oct 28.
