Newswise — Ghouls and buoys of all ages are invited to spend a safe and "spirited" Halloween with Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
Enjoy a night of science gone awry Oct. 24-26 as Birch Aquarium transforms into a haunted aquarium from 6-9 p.m. Encounter creeps from the deep and experiments with wacky, mad scientists. Explore the aquarium for tricky-treats, slimy encounters, spooky activities and monstrous live music. Wrap your tentacles around the horrors of life without water in the new exploration courtyard. Put your knowledge and skills to the test in a maze of haunted activities.
Come dressed to impress for a costume contest held each evening, when prizes will be awarded for the best marine-themed, family-themed and most creative costumes. Take home a sustainable tote bag, generously provided by Vons, that can be used again for Halloween trick-or-treating as well as future trips to the grocery store.
Haunted Birch Aquarium is open to guests of all ages. Cost is $15 per person. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Light refreshments will be provided. To register, please call 858-534-7336.
Beware ... and be there!
