The Cosmic Howl

This October, Meow Wolf invites lovers of spooky season to experience The Cosmic Howl, celebration of fall that is coming back for its second year. Across all Meow Wolf locations, the veil on the portals will be at its thinnest, inviting visitors to an immersive experience enhanced by the spirit with events of the Autumnal and Halloween variety. (Cue evil laughter!)

Starting October 11, Meow Wolf Grapevine will be infused with the eerie energy of the season, offering guests a unique chance to explore The Real Unreal in its most paranormal form. On select days, the exhibition will come alive with "Howl States"—moments when the art installation itself takes on a life of its own, surprising visitors with dynamic takeovers and unexpected twists.

This will include special in-exhibition missions to complete for never-before-seen activities and activations within The Real Unreal. From roaming performers to exclusive merchandise and family-friendly activities, Meow Wolf’s Cosmic Howl has something for every adventurer, whether they’re here for the thrills or the chills.
