CARTERET COUNTY, N.C. -- Marine animals met mystical creatures at The Aquarium at Pine Knolls Shores' event this Halloween.

  • The aquarium invited preschool-aged children to attend a morning full of games and crafts.
  • This follows the cancellation of the aquarium's annual Trick or Treat Under the Sea event due to Hurricane Florence.
  • The aquarium is open and operating as usual while undergoing repairs to its outdoor facilities.

This follows the cancellation of the aquarium's annual Trick or Treat Under the Sea event due to Hurricane Florence. 

“We come often," said Leslie Whitmore, a parent from Morehead City at the event with her two kids. "We actually have the annual membership for the family. So we come a whole lot. Especially when it rains on days like that where you want to let the kids run but can’t really be outside.”
