Right now, the aquarium is Halloween-themed. Jackson says employees look forward all year to experiencing the decorations. 

"We are really big into holidays," she said. "Right now we're focusing on our Spooky Seas, going all the way until Oct. 31."

"But on Oct. 28, we're going to have trick-or-treating inside the aquarium for our guests that come through," she said. "The kids can go through with their own trick-or-treat bag and stop at different stations and get a nice view of all our fish and say hey to our sea turtles."

Jackson says the aquarium offers an experience no one will forget. 

"It's a really fun time, we have a vast assortment of animals," she said.
