All Things Salt Lake City in October

The Leonardo INNOVATION IDOL:  ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? What can kids possibly teach technology innovators? Quite a lot, actually. Join us for an extra special Leo After Hours event, and Utah Science Technology and Research (USTAR), where local entrepreneurs pitch elementary school students, Shark Tank-style, for real money! Wait, 5th graders are the judges? That's right. Kids are experts at being brutally honest and asking the tough questions. They are masters at making creative connections that most adults miss. Also, entrepreneurs often struggle with explaining their ideas in simple terms that are accessible and captivating to investors and potential customers. If a 5th grader doesn't get it, your customers won't either. So join us for an evening of inspiring ideas, appetizers and more!  Salt Lake Ghost Tours Guided by a professional storyteller, guests travel by bus to the great "haunts" of Salt Lake City or Ogden and learn about the ghosts who dwell in historic buildings and cemeteries. Bus tours, cemetery tours, and walking tours are available.  Living Planet Aquarium HAUNTED AQUARIUM The Haunted Aquarium is back! Our annual Halloween celebration kicks off Friday the 13th and goes through Halloween. Visit the Aquarium to see fun and spooky decorations lurking throughout our galleries. Join us for special events such as Skeleton Dives and Trick-or-Treating. This event is included with Aquarium Admission! Natural History Museum of Utah VIKINGS OF THE MUSEUM Don't be surprised if you encounter a Viking in the flesh as you explore Vikings: Beyond the Legend at NHMU. Due to a wildly implausible error in their navigation system, seven Norsemen (and women) ran their vessel aground on the shores of the Great Salt Lake and found their way to NHMU. Meet various members of Viking society, explore their daily life, learn a skill, hear Norse stories, and catch up on town gossip. These intriguing Norse characters will add a more personal look Beyond the Legend, as you explore Viking life in the Museum's latest special exhibit.   Gardner Village WITCH DISPLAY; WITCH SCAVENGER HUNT The broomsticks have landed and the witches have set up shop.
