New York State of trick-or-treating

Have a real New York trick-or-treat this Halloween at the Museum of the City of New York on Oct. 31.

If you are looking to explore more fun experiences beyond the typical trick-or-treating this Halloween, why not take the kids out for a New York treat? Children enjoy a trick-or-treat scavenger hunt to discover the treats and sweets that were invented in New York City. Then they use the inspiration from the exhibitions to create a spooky cityscape on their own pumpkin (provided on a first-come, first-served basis).

The program starts at 11 am and runs through 2 pm on Oct. 31. Free with $10 museum admission.
