Halloween party at the New York City Police Museum

Some people would say a police station is a pretty scary place. Give yourself a chill at the New York City Police Museum on Oct. 27, when its Halloween fest howls into town.

Have a boo-tiful time running your fingers through oozy, gooey slime, walking through their haunted house, decorating treat bags with spiders and bugs, and learning lots of tips that will keep trick or treating safe and fun.

Halloween at the museum is especially fang-tastic for families with little goblins 3 to 12 years old. Entrance is free after general museum admission — $8 for adults and $5 for children.

Halloween at the New York City Police Museum is on Oct. 27 from 11 am to 2 pm and will be a ghastly good time for all.
