Looking for a festive family activity in La Jolla? Halloween Aglow returns to Birch Aquarium at Scripps on October 23–24, 2026, bringing seasonal decorations, illuminated exhibits, unusual animals, and science activities together for an evening of discovery and Halloween fun.

The event is designed for families who want something more engaging than a traditional Halloween outing. Kids can explore fascinating marine life, enjoy the aquarium’s after-dark atmosphere, and take part in science-focused activities while adults soak in the glowing exhibits and coastal setting.

Tickets are listed at $59.95 for adults and $49.95 for children ages 3–12, with member options available. If you’re planning to attend on October 23, consider making it an early evening adventure and checking event details before you go.

As a local La Jolla real estate agent, I love highlighting experiences that help neighbors enjoy the community beyond its homes. Save the date, invite the family, and visit https://www.sandiego.org/events-festivals/halloween-aglow/efe1594eae7b11f1a7f2 for more information.
