12:30pm- 5:00pm

Get in the spirit of the season and celebrate Halloween and Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at Heal the Bay’s Aquarium.

New pop-up exhibit and family-friendly weekend activities

Ever wondered what is lurking underneath L.A. streets, in the dark and dirty storm drains? The Santa Monica Pier Aquarium invites you to our new pop-up exhibit open Saturday, Oct. 27 and Sunday, Oct. 28 only: The Haunted Storm Drain Maze. Tip toe (if you dare!) through the spiraling surge of sludge, the spirits of single-use plastic, and other scary sights you won’t be able to unsee.

Other activities include our glow-in-the-dark science laboratory, deep-sea animal artifacts and Dia de los Muertos crafts. Face painting and scary story times are scheduled throughout the weekend, too.

Schedule of events:

• Saturday, Oct. 27 @ 12:30pm-5pm: The Haunted Storm Drain Maze
• Saturday, Oct. 27 @ 2pm:  Scary Story Time
• Sunday, Oct. 28 @ 12:30pm-5pm: The Haunted Storm Drain Maze
• Sunday, Oct. 28 @ 3pm:  Santa Monica Pier Costume Parade & Trick-or-Treat
• Sunday, Oct. 28 @ 3:30pm:  Sunday Shark Feeding Presentation

Come in costume or choose from a variety of gently used goblin garb* available at the Aquarium. All ghosts and goblins are invited to join a 3pm parade on Sunday (October 28). Stepping off in front of the Aquarium, the procession will make its way along the Pier to trick-or-treat from Pier businesses.
