Ready for a Foam Party?

It's almost here! The Foam Party! next Thursday July 29, at 7pm, come to the Foam Party! Have a soak-tacular time playing in 20 square feet of FOAM! Think of an outdoor bubble bath, but without the water--just lots and lots of bubbles! You have to see it to believe it. No signup required, but wear a bathing suit and/or old clothes. The foam is hypo-allergenic and nontoxic, but you WILL get WET!

Come hear some Tales From Beyond!

Tales from Beyond

This Wed July 7 at 4pm, for grades 6 to 12. Experience tales of mayhem, mental powers and the macabre. See strange artifacts from the 1935 closing of Colney Hatch Mental Asylum. See an actual working replica of Thomas Edison's Spirit Telegraph, an invention supposedly able to communicate with those who have passed on. Try to solve the infamous Torso Murders, a Cleveland mystery which baffled famed lawman Elliot Ness. Learn about mentalist powers and hear stories of unbelievable events.
