Shedd After Hours: Halloween
Are you brave enough to come face to face with predators of land, sky and the deep blue sea? We’ll have surprising pop-up animal encounters and a hair-raising shark chat that proves facts are stranger than fiction. We hope you’ll wear your most imaginative Halloween attire for a chance to win prizes in our costume contest. As you haunt the aquarium, devour festive bites prepared by our culinary team, or sip a spooky spirit as you visit our science pub to learn just how unearthly the deep ocean really is, presented by a Shedd specialist.
Food, beverages and 4-D presentations are available for purchase.
