Halloween Party Coming To American Airpower Museum Of Farmingdale

FARMINGDALE, NY — "Fright Takes Flight" is how the American Airpower Museum describes its upcoming Halloween Party in their "haunted hangar," according to a news release.

The Haunted Hangar Halloween Party is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 26 at American Airpower Museum, located at Hangar 3, 1230 New Highway, Farmingdale.

The museum will display its World War II Flying Tiger and other frightful warbirds to "keep enemy spirits at bay," according to the release.

In keeping with the holiday spirit, costumed museum volunteers will hand out treats as kids go door to door in Hangar 3.

"Little goblins and parents alike will mingle with ghosts, ghouls, skeletons, vampires, witches and zombies inside the museum’s spooky home, decorated and creatively transmogrified into a haunted house complete with dry ice fog, spider webs, flying bats and new frights at every turn!" the museum stated.

The Haunted Hangar Halloween Party includes a tour of the museum's Haunted Bomber. Museum staff dares families to enter its Maze of Terror.

"Don’t forget to bring your cameras or phones along, to take photos of your kids standing in front of the Ghost Fighter, just saying!" the museum wrote.

Parents and kids can also climb aboard the museum's Travesty Tram for a ride around Hangar 3.

"And listen up, you scary parents, dress your kids (12 and under) to compete in our Costume
Contest," the museum wrote.

A special prize will be given to the child wearing the best costume.

Adults were encouraged to dress up in horrific outfits, too, which the museum says will add to the festive atmosphere.

Halloween-themed music, like John Zacherley’s "Monster Mash," will be playing for adults who want to dance.

Admission to the American Airpower Museum’s Haunted Hangar Halloween Party is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and veterans, and $10 for children ages 5 to 12.

AAM members and active military/guard/reserves are free with ID. For more information, people can call 631-293-6398, Wednesday through Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or visit the museum's website.
