Brief Description:
Don’t miss our annual Haunted Birch Aquarium – where science goes mad! 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? Make sure to come in costume for the costume-contest!
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
