Children’s Museum of Wilmington launches first Eek! Week Festival

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – The Children’s Museum of Wilmington is celebrating Halloween with its first-ever Eek! Week, a weeklong festival featuring themed activities, crafts, and treats for children and families.

The event runs daily starting Tuesday and leading up to Halloween, with programs at 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., including science experiments, story times, art activities, and literacy-focused events. Each day’s programming is designed to be interactive and family-friendly.

The festival culminates Friday morning with a special celebration where children can wear costumes, visit trick-or-treat stations, and participate in activities such as sensory play, pumpkin-themed crafts, and hands-on experiments. Outdoor activities will focus on toddlers, while indoor activities are available for all ages, from infants to 10-year-olds.

The Children’s Museum has Halloween-related events taking place each day leading up to the holiday.
