Thank you for making SuperNatural 2024 a spooktacular success!

Feeling some FOMO? We'll rub it in with a list of what you missed:

  • Shake your bones at a silent disco in Steinhart Aquarium
  • Satisfy your sweet tooth at trick-or-treat stations
  • See what slithers and scuttles at live animal demonstrations
  • Hang on for dear life atop a giant pumpkin ride
  • Meet mad scientists and ogle at unusual specimens
  • Create crafts to "DIY" for
  • Transform into living (or undead) art with face painting
  • Immortalize your spirit at a photo booth.
  • Rest in peace at an exclusive teen lounge with arcade games, snacks, and more

Fear not: SuperNatural will reanimate in October 2025. See you then!
