  • Biofacts Boneyard – Check out bones and biofacts with a spooky, cobwebby twist!
  • Shark Table – Meet the real deal with a shark specimen on display, courtesy of the Big Fish Lab!
  • Shark Necropsy & Draw-Along (TBD) – Stay tuned for a chance to witness science in action!
  • Costume Contest – Come dressed to impress for a chance to win fun prizes like toys, stickers and maybe even candy!
  • Spooky Scavenger Hunt – Venture through the Visitor Center to uncover spooky surprises!
  • Decorations & more – Wander through our haunted cement cave and enjoy spooky lighting, cobwebs, fog and jack-o-lanterns. Plus, our touchpool animals are getting into the spirit with their tiny 3-D-printed hats!

Whether you're here for the science or the spookiness, this is one event you won’t want to miss!
