Halloween is around the corner!
Halloween is approaching fast, it is just around the corner. This time of year is fun for all ages as children can dress up and pretend to be their favorite character while adults get the privilege of seeing all the cute costumes. If you’re staying at a Festiva Family resort then you have the chance to do all of your trick-or-treating right on the property. There are many events being held in our local area for this special event.
Trick or Treat Under the Sea at Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium:
Two Frightfully Fun Nights for 2009 – Oct. 28 & 29
Thrills and gills are back for the Aquarium’s popular Halloween party, Trick or Treat Under the Sea, aka TOTUS. This year, TOTUS expands to two nights – Wednesday, Oct. 28 and Thursday, Oct. 29. Tickets are sold 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. each night. Choose the evening that works best for your family or come twice for a double dose of frightful fall fun.
Trick or treating is the highlight for both nights. Children load up goodie bags at decorated booths sponsored by local businesses and organizations throughout the Aquarium. People of all ages enjoy underwater pumpkin carving demonstrations and other “spooky” fun and games with an aquatic twist. As in years past, roving costume connoisseurs single out the best get-ups.
To get ready for the evening, the Aquarium ends regular ticket sales at 1 p.m. each day of TOTUS, and reopens for the Halloween hi-jinks at 4:30 p.m.
TOTUS admission each night is $6 per person; no charge for ages 2 and under. Aquarium Society memberships, discounted and advance tickets, complimentary passes and Aquarium admission paid before 1 p.m. cannot be used in lieu of the $6 per person charge for this special event.
