SCARE NH Free Costume Giveaway Event
S.C.A.R.E. stands for Secondhand Costume Annual Redistribution Effort—and their efforts are coming to the Children’s Museum of NH in Dover for a free costume giveaway. This event is open to the public, but to stay and play in the museum exhibits, normal museum admission applies. Come check out all the amazing free costumes, sign a simple waiver, and take home some Halloween magic for the kids. Costumes range in size from infant up to adult sizes. Visitors are welcome to bring in costumes to donate to S.C.A.R.E., but it is not required to participate.

Featured October 7, 2025 -Featured Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly Playtime
Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly Playtime
For some children, a museum visit is challenging and over-stimulating. The Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly playtimes are exclusive to families of children with special needs. These reduced admission, low-sensory events are designed for children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders to explore the Museum along with their families without the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical day. The museum is closed to the public during Exploring Our Way playtimes. We limit attendance, turn down sounds and lights, provide a quiet zone with sensory activities, and have noise-canceling headphones to borrow. A medical diagnosis is not required. Online reservations are required and cost $3.50/person. LEARN MORE AND REGISTER
