| | | | | The annual haunted house inside The Children’s Museum has been a fall tradition in Indy for more than 60 years, and this year's edition follows the adventures of resident witch Guilda as she celebrates the museum's 100th anniversary by bringing exhibits to life. But oh no! A magical mishap has occurred and guests can see the fun and slightly spooky results through October 31. There are "friendly" hours for kids who scare easily and "frightening" hours for those who dare to be scared. Tickets are $8-$9. | |

See them at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in preseason action Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. Tickets are $7 and up. | |
