Families are invited to enjoy a Halloween adventure beneath the waves this autumn as Ascarium: Tricks & Treats returns to Sea Life Blackpool.
The event, included with general admission, invites young explorers to complete a themed activity trail through the aquarium, tackle spooky challenges and learn more about the ocean and its incredible inhabitants along the way.
Guests will discover everything from jellyfish, rays and turtles to sharks and other marine species, while special Halloween-themed characters, including Serafina the Sea Witch and a resident Warlock, will appear on selected dates during weekends and October half term.


Ascarium: Tricks & Treats is designed primarily for families with children aged 10 and under, combining seasonal fun with educational experiences encouraging visitors to discover and care for the ocean world.
Alongside the daytime event, Sea Life Blackpool will also host special after-dark Halloween experiences for older children and families seeking an extra thrill.
Ascarium: After Dark will take place on October 24-25 and 30-31, transforming Sea Life Blackpool after hours with live actors and unexpected encounters throughout the attraction.
Visitors will journey through the aquarium's exhibits as they come face-to-fin with sharks, piranhas, eels and other marine creatures, with a series of Halloween surprises waiting throughout the experience.
