Spider Weaving Best Viewed in the Dark, By Flashlight

Spider Weaving Best Viewed in the Dark, By Flashlight

The Golden Silk and the Banded Garden spiders turn into busy little bees at night weaving their beautiful orb traps. See them up close and put an extra twist into your experience with creepy crawlers this Halloween season with the Flashlight Tours in the Spider Pavilion of the Natural History Museum. On three special nights the Spider Pavilion will stay open late for exciting nighttime exploration, Halloween celebrations, and guided flashlight tours by Spider Pavilion Gallery Interpreters. While you’re there, get a free flashlight (while supplies last) to take home continue the nighttime spider explorations right in your own backyard. The special dates for evening flashlight tours of the Spider Pavilion are Saturday, October 10; Saturday, October 17; and Friday, October 30, 2009.

The Spider Pavilion will remain open until 9 pm on the following nights. Activities begin at 6 pm:

• Saturday, October 10 – Super Spider Craft Workshop
Kids can make a glittery web craft, an itsy bitsy spider booklet, and color spider images to take home.

• Saturday, October 17 – “EEK” Spider Trivia Game
Test your spider knowledge and win prizes during our version of a game show.

• Friday, October 30 – Spider Cinema Night & Trick-or-Treat Night
