Haunted Birch Aquarium

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.

One of the award-winning marine-themed costumes at last year's Haunted Aquarium.

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.
