Crabs, sharks, and other sea creatures abound at Haunted Birch Aquarium.
Haunted Birch Aquarium
Where science goes mad!
October 24, 25, 26, 2008: 6-9 p.m
Members $12: Public $15
Are you looking for family-friendly Halloween fun?
Then you won’t want to miss the 8th annual Haunted Birch Aquarium – where science goes mad! Costume contest judging takes place in the Galleria from 6:00-7:15p.m. Costume contest winners are announced at 7:30p.m.
Begin your spook-tacular adventure with a journey down our 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.
Whatever your age, you’ll be howlin’ with delight this Halloween at
Birch Aquarium at Scripps. 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.
Don't miss the fun. RSVP soon as space is limited. 858-534-7336.
