From 27 October to 2 November the SEA LIFE London Aquarium will be celebrating Halloween by challenging young guests to spot some intricately hand-carved pumpkins featuring marvelous marine inspired designs.

The stunning  glowing creations include a spooky shark, grinning piranha and ghostly Gentoo penguin – all carefully hidden for children to discover on their journey through the deep.

Plus on 31 October the Fish Witch will be making a special appearance for the day. The mysterious marine crone only comes out on Halloween when she cooks up a cauldron full of eerie fun and tells her spooky stories of the sea. Those brave enough to come along in fancy dress on the day will also receive a tasty free treat!*

There is lots to learn with talks and feeds throughout the week,** and of course there's an entire ocean to explore including rare giant Green Sea turtles, tropical fish, rays, crabs and jellyfish – and for the intrepid, special VIP experiences like a Shark Feed, Turtle Feed and Snorkelling with Sharks Experience.
