Annual Events

Randall Museum is proud to host a number of family-friendly special events each year. Some fun family activities, such as Bug Day, Family Halloween Day, and Holiday Craft Day, are perennial favorites. Others, including special exhibit openings, take advantage of one-time opportunities to share something unique with our visitors. 

Bug Day

Check out an incredible array of insects at the Randall Museum’s annual Bug Day, one of San Francisco’s best family activities. Do you adore arthropods, or do creepy crawlies make you queasy? Either way you’ll find something here to inspire your inner entomologist. Join in the insect-inspired fun and learn how important these little creatures are to the earth and our survival here. Kids and their families can make their own fabulous bug-related crafts to take home, see and touch live exotic insects, take a scientific look at insects through microscopes, compete in the Insect Olympics, and perhaps even EAT a bug or two.

Family Halloween

Come in costume and celebrate “The Magic of Halloween” at the Randall. Expect a gamut of fun family activities including ghoulish games, creepy crafts, tricks & treats, costume awards, live music, entertainment in the theater and more! Free Admission. Free and Low Cost Activities.

Winter Craft Day

Show your love and express yourself creatively with handmade gifts, cards and decorations to brighten up the winter season. The whole family can create one-of-a-kind keepsakes and gifts. “Snowball” games in the theater and low-cost activities in every classroom!

Annual San Francisco Middle School Science Fair

Come by the Randall Museum late February/early March to view the annual San Francisco Middle School Science Fair. Over 200 students from nearly thirty San Francisco public, private and parochial schools will submit projects to the Randall Museum for this unique science competition.
