Sea Scare 2024

Every October, a strange fog transforms Cabrillo Marine Aquarium into a family-friendly theater of discovery. This year, there have been reports of unexplained mutations among local marine life. Scientists suspect something coming from the deep, but the situation is changing too quickly to draw any firm conclusions.
Help us unravel the mystery by finding clues hidden throughout the Aquarium including the dark corners of Skull Alley, the Mad Scientist’s Lab, Trick or Treat Trail and Haunted House. Take the chance to win prizes in our carnival game area, or create your own goodies at our arts and crafts tables and visit the Trunk or Treat zone. If you’re lucky, the clues you find may lead you to our Secret Glow Zone before algae mutations completely take over the Aquarium!

Aquarium 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!
