Location

Seattle Aquarium

It’s Halloween time at the Seattle Aquarium! Join us for some frighteningly fun fall activities in Piers 59 and 60. Come enjoy trick-or-treating and activity stations where you can learn spooktacular facts about ocean animals. Feel free to don your costumes for even more festive fun!

Hello, gourd-geous! Underwater pumpkin carving is back with shows at noon and 3pm in our Window on Washington Waters habitat. Help us choose the best of the bunch. We’ll also have giant pumpkin carving on site with master carver Russ Leno. And don’t miss a special puppet story time, featuring animals from the darkness of the deep sea.

Remember, one ticket gets you access to our entire campus (including the new Ocean Pavilion), plus all of the day’s activities. That’s a scary good deal!
