## About

This after-hours aquarium night still has one public evening left in the research window. Galleries stay open with underwater jack-o'-lanterns, skeletons, Halloween music, costumed scuba divers, animal encounters, face painting, temporary tattoos, a fortune teller, photo spots, and a four-page activity booklet. Costumed children can get a take-home treat bag if the family registers ahead so the aquarium can pack enough bags. Adults may wear costumes that stay family-friendly and leave a clear view. A cash bar is listed for the Friday night. Passholders log in for their own discount. The Sunday sensory-friendly night and the earlier October dates are already past.
