About THE SECRET OF MOONRISE MANOR:

Meet Raven Gallows, a sharp-witted young detective - think Wednesday Addams meets Sherlock Holmes. Growing up in her family’s funeral home has given Raven a unique perspective on life—and death. When she discovers a mummified body hidden in the walls of the haunted Moonrise Manor Hotel, Raven and her friends must solve a mystery tied to stolen art, a secret society, and the real-life Gardner Museum heist.

After the presentation, put on your detective hat and join the investigation! Families will rotate through hands-on science stations to:

  • Lift and analyze fingerprints like a forensic scientist.
  • Identify mysterious powders with simple chemistry tests.
  • Reveal hidden clues using chemical chromatography.
  • Solve puzzles with handwriting analysis.

This interactive mystery adventure is packed with science, intrigue, and fun for the whole family. Don’t miss your chance to dive into the secrets of Moonrise Manor!
