The Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) was a little more busy than usual, hosting “Tricks, Treats & Roars” on Saturday. With a demographic target of ages 3-6, hundreds of children visited the museum to trick or treat and take part in a variety of other activities. At 10:30 a.m., the day started off with story time and a dance called the “Halloween BOO-gie” beneath Scotty’s Skeleton in the T-Rex Art Gallery. Other activities included a dinosaur building station. “People love Halloween, people love dinosaurs, so we are the place to combine both of those things and what a celebration we’re having today,” explained Sarah Schaefer, visitor experience supervisor at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum. Taking place on a Friday in 2025, last year’s event had around 100 people. With Halloween taking place on a Saturday this year, Schaefer estimates those numbers to be in the hundreds in 2026. “We always see dinosaur costumes even on regular days here at the museum,” she added. “There’s lots of dinosaur costumes, lots of paleontologists, and lots of connections.” The RSM looks to host “Tricks, Treats & Roars” once again in 2027.
