Halloween Aglow offers a unique opportunity to explore the ocean at Night when a new realm of fascinating marine life comes to life.
As you wander through the aquarium during Halloween Aglow, you’ll be mesmerized by the bioluminescent creatures that glow in the dark. Did you know that some deep-sea fish have evolved to produce their light through bioluminescence? This incredible adaptation helps them communicate, attract prey, and even find mates in the darkness of the deep ocean.
While the bioluminescent creatures steal the show, there’s much more to discover during Halloween Aglow. Trick-or-treating around the aquarium adds an extra element of fun to the event. Imagine your little ones dressed in their favorite costumes, going from exhibit to exhibit, collecting treats and learning about the amazing creatures that call the ocean their home. It’s an educational and exciting way to celebrate Halloween!
But Halloween Aglow isn’t just about costumes and candy; it’s also an opportunity to delve into the weird and wonderful research at Scripps Ocean. This renowned institution is at the forefront of marine science, conducting groundbreaking studies that uncover the ocean’s mysteries. From exploring the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems to studying the behavior of elusive deep-sea creatures, Scripps Ocean is a hub of innovation and discovery.
During Halloween Aglow, you’ll have the chance to learn all about the incredible research projects happening at Scripps Ocean. You might be surprised to learn that scientists study bioluminescence in marine organisms to better understand its role in ecosystem dynamics. This research sheds light on the mysteries of the deep sea and has practical applications in fields such as medicine and biotechnology.
While Halloween Aglow is geared toward families, don’t fret if you’re looking for an adult-only event.
