Pumpkins with a Purpose 2026

Pumpkins with a Purpose is back for another year!

Pumpkins with a Purpose is our ticketed, all-day celebration of the season, and this year, we’ve transformed the entire Museum inside and out. From the moment you arrive, you’ll enjoy character meet-and-greets, trick-or-treat candy stations, carriage rides past our costumed dinosaur friends, a pumpkin patch, a DJ Monstermash Dance Party, and so much more.

Every ticket supports our Museum initiatives, including our Welcome Fund Access Program and School Outreach, helping bring the joy of play and learning to families across Nebraska and Western Iowa who might not otherwise have the chance.

Every child deserves the chance to play, explore, and discover. With your help, we can make that possible.

An event ticket is required for museum admission for this event.
