Sea Scare 2025

With construction underway, Aquarium staff have unearthed a mysterious relic from the past. Curious minds want to decipher the runes inscribed on the artifact, but others warn of an ancient curse that may be released with too much meddling. Will the siren’s song draw you into unraveling the mystery by finding clues hidden throughout the aquarium including the dark corners of Skull Alley, the Mad Scientist's Lab, and Haunted House? Who knows what lies ahead, but a family friendly night of thrills, chills, and gills at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is guaranteed!

Other challenges include winning prizes in our carnival game area and creating your own goodies at our arts and crafts tables. Be sure to visit the Trunk or Treat zone and don’t forget to dress your best and participate in our costume contest.

Aquarium Members get a special FREE early entry into the event at 6pm. Come dressed in your costume and party with the ghost (crabs), goblin (sharks), rat (fish), and vampire (squid). It’s sure to be a frightfully good time for the whole family!

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN TRICK-OR-TREAT BAG!
