How well do you think you could carve a pumpkin underwater?

Don’t be a fish out of water.

The Florida Aquarium is getting in the Halloween spirit with its annual Guppyween event on Saturday, Oct. 28 + Sunday, Oct. 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The not-so-spooky celebration includes trick-or-treating stations throughout the aquarium, music, a dance party, animal encounters (including some pretty creepy critters), appearances by Rocky and Tango, costumed divers, and underwater pumpkin carving.

Kids wearing costumes get in free with a paid adult admission.

For those looking for a sensory-friendly option, The Aquarium is hosting a sensory-friendly Guppyween on Saturday morning from 8 to 9:30 a.m. with adapted lights and sounds. Tickets will cost $10 per guest.
