This fall, SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium is inviting families to embark on an underwater pirate adventure during Pirates of the Haunted Seas, a limited-time Halloween seasonal event.

Taking place Saturdays and Sundays from Sept. 19 through Nov. 1, the experience is included with aquarium admission.

During the event, The Pirate Captain awaits brave adventurers for a special meet-and-greet, where each young pirate will receive a commemorative gold coin. Armed with a treasure map, families will journey through the aquarium, encountering sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, axolotls, seahorses and other fascinating sea animals. Along the way, they’ll complete pirate-themed activities, uncover hidden “loot” and finish their quest with a bag filled with candy.

The adventure continues throughout the aquarium with themed décor and interactive activities inspired by the sea animals and habitats beneath the waves.

Guests can practice rope-knot tying and hear ‘Tales of the Deep’ in the Shipwreck zone, learn about coral in the Coral Seas habitat, play a shark-matching game in the Pacific Ocean habitat, join a Sea Dogs shark chat near the 360-degree ocean tunnel, and enjoy coloring activities and Florida wildlife chats in the Everglades area.

Guests can also enhance their visit with premium experiences, including Legend of Lusca VR for an additional $8 per person and Behind-the-Scenes Tours for an additional $10 per person. Legend of Lusca VR allows guests to encounter sharks, sea turtles and more on an adventure deep among the coral reefs and shipwrecks of the Bahamas.

On the 30-minute Behind-the-Scenes Tour, guests will step into the world of the aquarists and discover what it takes to care for thousands of amazing sea animals. From preparing meals to monitoring habitats, guests will get a glimpse into the fascinating work happening just out of sight.
