Pumpkins & Piranhas

Bring your family for a spooky after-hours adventure at the Greater Cleveland Aquarium this Halloween season. Your kids will have full access to all the aquarium's galleries, which are decked out with underwater jack-o'-lanterns, skeletons, and festive Halloween music. Beyond the regular exhibits, there's plenty to keep everyone entertained: costumed scuba divers moving through the tanks, hands-on animal encounters, face painting, temporary tattoos, and a fortune teller. Don't miss the photo opportunities scattered throughout. Young visitors will work through a four-page activity booklet as they explore, and children in costumes get to take home a treat bag at the end of the night. Admission ranges from free to $25, so it's an accessible way to celebrate the season. The event runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on select October evenings, making it perfect for families looking to mix Halloween fun with a trip to the aquarium.
