Please note: Boney Island is not being held in 2025.

Boney Island is back this Halloween season! One of the LA area's most popular family-friendly haunts for decades, the former lawn haunt from Sherman Oaks returns for a second season to the Natural History Museum.

Traditionally, Boney Island is as family-friendly as a haunt can be. Every inch of free space is filled with skeletons, most of whom are engaging in some form of magic trick, such as performing rope tricks and levitating through hoops, shadow puppetry, and more.

The museum puts its own spin on the event, with artistic performances, real fossils, live animal presentations, and other ghoulishly glowing installations. 

This haunt has come back from the dead before; it existed as a free home installation for decades before being shut down by bureaucratic issues arising from its extreme popularity. A brief return was staged at the Griffith Park Ghost Train, before that popular Halloween event was also shut down. This third after-life is an exciting gift to another generation of LA kids!

Tickets go on sale on September 3.
