Family Fun
There’s lots to BOOOOOO – we mean DO at The Rooms!
Have a blast and get into the ghoulish spirit of Halloween with some of our spook-takular activities! Make some creepy-crawlies, spider webs, ghosts or masks at our self-guided craft stations.
There are friendly ghosts at The Rooms – how many can you find? Go on a ghost walk to see if you can count them all (some clues will be provided at the craft station). Enter your answer for a chance to win a prize!
Visit the theatre and check out a selection of short animations playing on a loop from the National Film Board collection. Each story teaches us about resilience and strength – even during scary Halloween Times! Total time is approximately 40 minutes

Events & Programs
Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.
Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.
What magical creature will you create?
Drop-in program – no registration is required.
Celebrating biodiversity! Get Hands on with our Province’s plants, animals and wild spaces at The Rooms with Nature NL!
