it's sat. and sun. from 12-5. they are goign to have bluegrass, pumpkins, pony rides, a petting zoo and caramel apples to name a few.



slightly off topic - does anyone know if they changed the parking policy at udvar hazy? i thought if you went after 4pm it was free, and i noticed foodies post said discounted parking ($10 instead of $12). just curious.

 

I picked up IMAX tickets there in August around 4:30 and parked free. Hope it hasn't changed since then . . .

 

Charlotte and others--

Thanks for your posts of events. I also did not pay for parking after 4 pm recently. You might want to call the Dulles Air and Space Museum. On the web site--it states "Parking if FREE after 4 pm". Phone number is (877) 932-IMAX (x4629) to check for shows, etc. Just check with the Museum to see if that is true for Halloween event.

More Misc. Halloween Happenings--

www.loudounsymphony.org (Loudoun Symphony's Halloween event is a "Spook-tacular" concert(s) on Saturday, 10/27/07 at 8 pm. Concerts will be held at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, VA. Sunday, 10/28/07 at 3 pm at Loudoun Valley High School in Purcellville, VA is also featured. Special lighting and special effects will highlight the concert event. Audience is welcome to appear in Costumes. Check web site for ticket info, etc.)

 

The website for the Air and Space Museum says the event has reduced parking of $10. I guess the standard free parking after 4 pm doesn't apply. It still sounds like a lot of fun for $10!!

 

whitney1125 and others--

Just check the web site or call for info.
