Be prepared as ghosts of whalers past return to haunt Cold Spring Harbor and transform the Whaling Museum into a spooky family-friendly experience Sunday, Oct. 25, from 12 to 4 p.m.  

Historic exhibits come to life as ghouls and goblins roam through a sea of fog and black lights with spooky surprises around each corner. 

The Haunted Wail-ing Museum and Festival offers activities galore as guests mix fizzy potions, brew sticky slime, dissect owl pellets and reach into gooey touch tables.  

Other attractions include Halloween- themed craft stations and mask making for all ages.  

The Spooktacular Zoo, sponsored by  Dr. Gellerman’s Spectacular Smiles will include an assortment of creatures from the Sweetbriar Nature  to frighten and fascinate.   

New to the zoo this year is a touch tank from The Waterfront Center.  Pay one price of $10 per child and $5 adult for all activities. The Whaling Museum is located at 301 Main St. in  Cold Spring Harbor.
