Bring your ghouls and goblins during museum hours (10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last boarding at 4 p.m.) for Halloween fun aboard two of Toledo’s most historic haunts, the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship and the Museum Tug Ohio. Trick or treat in costume from the pilothouses to the galleys and everywhere in between. Collect your treats in pre-portioned, sealed bags at various haunted stations, making it a frightfully fun and safe way for young explorers to dive into Great Lakes history and discover the mysteries aboard our museum ships.
