The Aquarium is Haunted!

by Carole A. Lane on October 2nd, 2008

ba_A_halloween07_035_jpg_500 Are you looking for family-friendly Halloween fun? Would you like to try something a little different? Then you won’t want to miss the 8th annual Haunted Birch Aquarium – where science goes mad!

On October 24, 25, 26, 2008 (6-9 p.m.), you can begin your spook-tacular adventure with a journey down the spirited pumpkin patch where extraordinary characters will have you spellbound.

Then, if you dare, enter the haunted Hall of Fishes, home to wolf eels, moon jellies and other marine animals that slither and float. In the dark, catch a glimpse of bioluminescence from the sea. Are you brave enough to peer into jars of amazing deep-sea creatures?

Later, brew up some fun with water games that will hone your conservation skills and help world-renowned Scripps Oceanography researchers with their scientific experiments. No visit to the aquarium would be complete without close encounters with live animals…so get ready for globs of hagfish slime or a meet-and-greet with skeleton shrimp.

Boogie down to monstrous live music, munch on fa-boo-lous cookies and sip hot apple cider. Each child 13 and under can collect tricky-treats with a free, recyclable grocery bag donated by VONS.  Whatever your age, you’ll be howlin’ with delight this Halloween at Birch Aquarium at Scripps.
