Sea Scare: Siren’s Curse
With construction underway, aquarium staff have unearthed a mysterious relic from the past. Curious minds want to decipher the runes inscribed on the artifact, but others warn of an ancient curse that may be released with too much meddling. Will the siren’s song draw you into unraveling the mystery by finding clues hidden throughout the aquarium including the dark corners of Skull Alley, the Mad Scientist's Lab and Haunted House? Who knows what lies ahead, but a family friendly night of thrills, chills, and gills at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is guaranteed!
Other challenges include winning prizes in our carnival game area and creating your own goodies at our arts and crafts tables. Be sure to visit the Trunk or Treat zone and don’t forget to dress your best and participate in our costume contest.
Guests with a family membership will receive 4 FREE tickets and get early entry into the event starting at 6pm.

*Use of AI to create art will not be selected, we want the art to be your creation, not someone else's.
*While art can look scary or creepy, we ask that all art submitted meet "PG" standards.
How to Submit
Art can be submitted in person, directly to the Welcome Booth at the Aquarium. We ask that participants write the following information on the back of your artwork so that we can contact you:

Submissions due on Friday, October 10 at 5pm. Winners should expect to be contacted by October 15th with information on how to visit their artwork and how to redeem their tickets to Sea Scare.
Because of the number of submissions, once artwork is submitted to the aquarium it will not be returned, so make sure to take lots of photos of your art before submitting.
