During the month of October, join us to celebrate creepy coastal creatures with the return of our fun and educational Halloween-themed Creepy Coastal Crawl.

Visitors will enjoy daily spooky hands-on activities in museum galleries that spotlight a creepy critter from a specific habitat and inspire curiosity:

  • Changing Tides – Deep Sea creature discovery bin, bat hats
  • Green Swamp – Creepy items for the SeaScope, bat box and bat facts
  • Hayden O’Neal Learning Center – Pumpkin decorating craft the last week of October
  • Barrier Island – Example of a sea turtle esophagus, dark box with bioluminescent dinoflagellates, DIY bioluminescent jellyfish, and a ghost crab “hunt”
  • Coastal Plains – Spider sensory bin, spider web demo, insects for Native Nature In Your Backyard, and venomous/nonvenomous snake matching

In addition, check out:

  • Sea Tales on Thursdays at 11 am that feature creepy critter books and activities
  • Climate Action Heroes on Saturdays from 10 am – 1 pm, featuring Community Captains Encounter NC, Ripley’s Aquarium, and Children’s Museum of Wilmington with their creepy animals and science activities
