There's no trick about this treat as the Aquarium transforms into the AquaScarium, with an admission discount for kids in costume, safe trick-or-treating, special activities and lots of safe (non-scary) family fun.
Come to the AquaScarium in costume on Oct. 22-23 and 29-30 and get one free child’s admission (a $15.95 value) with each paying adult. Adult admission is $22.95. (The offer is not available for advance online purchases.)
There will be safe trick-or-treating throughout the galleries.
The normal toy boat-building workshop transforms into the Halloween Carve & Create Station, where guests can decorate a keepsake. Pick from a real mini pumpkin ($7) or a forever artifical pumpkin ($15). And watch as a master carver creates Halloween works of art for display in the Aquarium, er ... AquaScarium.
Face-painters will enhance Halloween alter egos, turning guests into wild creatures, superheroes, princesses and more. Face-painting times are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cost is $5. Supplying the artistry will be Wells Noonan of Face-Painting by Wells (Oct. 22, 29 & 30) and Picasso Parties (Oct. 23).
The AquaScarium itself will be ghoulishly decorated for Halloween, with the possibility that wolffish, mummichogs and sculpin could transform into were-wolffish, mummy-chogs and skull-pin!
Admission: FREE admission for children in costume when accompanied by a paying adult.
