In addition to the radio station itself, future fun and education activities may include amateur radio classes for people who want to get their license, a Boy Scout Amateur Radio Merit Badge program and even a scheduled contact with the International Space Station using Amateur Radio
In addition, Dr. Sci-Fi will be handing out candy to trick-or-treaters so bring a goody bag and come early in costume for the contest.  Costume contest winners will be announced at 7:30 p.m. All exhibits will be open including “Animal Grossology” featuring dissections and the Black Hole, a full dome-planetarium movie. Tickets must be purchased for the planetarium showings.

Each year the museum welcomes more than 120,000 visitors and reaches more than 55,000 students through workshops at the museum and outreach programs to local schools. Established in 1961, the museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to exciting curiosity and furthering the understanding and appreciation of science and technology.
“Nights at the Museum” is a regular feature the last Friday of the month.  Admission during the event for museum members is: Adults $5.00, Children 3-12, free.  Admission for non-members is: Adults $10.00, Children 3-12 $6.00.  Children under 3 years are free.
