Halloween at the Seaport Museum

Get ready for all treats and no tricks as the Seaport Museum comes alive with Halloween fun! From 11am to 5pm on Saturday, enjoy free General Admission to the Museum, which will be packed with festive activities for all ages.

Throughout the day take part in the sailors’ superstitions spooky scavenger hunt throughout the 1885 tall ship Wavertree, and try your hand at pumpkin or gourd decorating inspired by maritime scrimshaw techniques, while supplies last. You can even BYOP––bring your own pumpkin––to decorate if you have a special pumpkin in mind! And, from 2pm to 4pm, venture into the captain’s saloon for a tarot card reading. Readings are first come, first served.

Plus, during the all-ages Seaport Kids x Halloween Block Party on Seaport Square, stop by the Seaport Museum’s table to make paper chain decorations and create your own spooky Halloween card with stamps inspired by the printing collection at Bowne & Co. The block party is hosted by Mommy Poppins, Brooklyn Bridge Parents, and the Seaport.

Don’t miss out on this frightfully fun day! While we encourage pre-registration, we warmly welcome walkups to join in the Halloween fun.
