'Fishy Fest' Scares Up the Aquarium: See Pics

The aquarium gets into the spirit of Halloween and el Día de los Muertos.

The  isn't waiting around for Halloween and el Día de los Muertos to arrive this year. On Saturday and Sunday afternoon, the aquarium threw its "Fishy Fest," which celebrated both the holidays.

Kids were encouraged to clad themselves in marine-themed costumes. But however they decided to dress, they were able to see live animals that glow in the dark, as part of the bioluminescent deep-sea experience. There was also a spooky story time, face-painting and other activities.

Look above for photos from "A Fishy Fest Celebrating Halloween and Día de los Muertos" at the aquarium.
