🧟‍♂️🏃‍♀️ WOW! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FIRST ZOMBIE RUN! 🏃‍♂️🧟‍♀️

From all of us at the North Platte Area Children’s Museum, THANK YOU for making our very first Zombie Run 5K & 1 Mile such a HUGE success! Special shout out to Enzo Athletic Performance for being our headlining sponsor. We always appreciate your support. Extra special shout-out to board member Jennifer Kramer for coming up with such a creative idea. She was the brains behind this super successful event. 👏👏

With around 140 participants, we are absolutely blown away by the turnout, enthusiasm, and overwhelming community support for this first-year event! We couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off what we plan to make an annual event.

THE ZOMBIES WILL BE BACK IN 2027! 🧟‍♀️💀

We're already looking forward to bringing you an even BIGGER and BETTER Zombie Run next year!

As we begin planning for 2027, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. What did you love? What could we improve? What would you like to see next year?

Here's to the first of many Zombie Runs! You helped make year one a HUGE HIT, and we can't wait to see what 2027 brings!

Until next year… stay spooky, keep running, and watch out for zombies! 🧟‍♂️🏅

We've made the difficult decision to remain closed on Sundays until after our Haunted House. We will happily be open Sunday, November 8th through the remainder of the cold season.

**IF you would like to have a birthday party at the museum on October 11th or 18th, we are happy to make those accommodations. Please reach out as soon as possible to schedule those.
