Have you visited the Crypto-Zoo yet? This weekend, Mike Bennett’s art exhibit is hosting a Halloween Makers Fair full of fun, free activities the whole family and all aspiring cryptozoologists will enjoy.
This spooky season, Portland artist Mike Bennett moved his popular Halloween monster cut outs—known as The Crypto-Zoo—from his front yard into its own building for a brand new immersive art exhibit free for audiences of all ages.
The Crypto-Zoo: Museum of Mystery free art exhibit has hosted a display of 26 life-size cut outs of cryptids, monsters and mythical beasts along with special activities almost every day.
