We’re closing early to prep for our annual A-scare-ium of the Salish Sea event.
We will reopen at 4:30PM.
Sixth Annual Halloween Spectacular
Join us for spooks, scares, sweets and other treats! This all ages event is guaranteed to be a whale of a time.
Bring your ghouls, vampires, superheroes, fairies, etc. to trick or treat under the sea while supporting two local causes — The New Marine Centre Society and Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank.
There will be darkness, there will be lights, there will be eerie (but not TOO scary!) displays. Challenge — search for sunken jack-o-lanterns.
Entry by donation. Suggested $5-10 per person.
Doors open at 4:30 (last entry 7:30pm)
Face painting from 5:30-6:30*
Tips for surviving A-Scare-ium:
Bring your own bag for collecting your trick-or-treating goodies
Arrive later in the evening for a quieter experience
Show up in your best Halloween attire!
