Pumpkins & Piranhas (Sensory Friendly Night)

Experience Halloween at the Aquarium in a more sensory-friendly way! This exclusive event is designed for guests with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), sensory processing differences, and their families to enjoy a festive, welcoming Aquarium experience. Explore the galleries at your own pace with full Aquarium access, underwater jack-o’-lanterns, skeletons, and other Halloween-themed décor. Guests can also enjoy face painting, temporary tattoos, and seasonal fun throughout the evening. To help create a more comfortable environment, attendance will be limited and the Aquarium team will reduce microphone use, soften lighting, and lower noise levels. Costumes are encouraged, and children will receive a take-home treat bag!
