Boney Island at the Natural History Museum

Kids of the valley might remember this classic halloween attraction that used to reside in the heart of Sherman Oaks. The shows, special effects and giant tree house made this event extremely popular every Halloween, until the event ended in 2019. Boney Island has moved its event to a new home at the Nature Gardens of the Natural History Museum. Attendees can expect an array of glowing installations, spooky skeletons and shadow puppetry interlaced with artistic performances, real fossils from the museum’s collection, live animal presentations and trick-or-treating opportunities. The attraction runs Thursday to Sunday through the end of the month, plus Oct. 30 and 31. Tickets are $25 a person. 900 Exposition Blvd., Los Angeles Sept. 28 – Oct. 31
