A Wizarding Night at the Museum

October 17th  5:30-9:30

Esplanade

Grab your wand and hop on your broomstick—an unforgettable evening awaits!

With a little help from our cauldron, you and your family will be sorted into your Hogwarts house upon arrival. No need to visit Diagon Alley—we’ve got everything you need! Borrow a cloak, receive your keepsake house pin, and choose your wand… or perhaps it will choose you.

Young witches and wizards will dive into Potions Class, where the takeaway is as tasty as it is magical. Together, we’ll brew a bit of luck—Felix Felicis (a.k.a. golden slime!)—to help guide you through the night’s adventures.

Don your Spectrespecs and get ready for a Luna Lovegood-inspired gallery scavenger hunt! Search for magical artifacts, solve a mystery, and beware of those mischievous Wrackspurts. Magic is sure to unfold in this immersive gallery experience!

To end the evening, gather in the Hogwarts Common Room (Studio Theatre) for a cozy, slumber party-style screening (so don't forget your stuffy and pillow!) of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Sip and crunch your potions class project—but beware… there’s a small chance of whiskers!

Recommended for ages 8 and up.  Please note that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone lists parental guidance recommended.
