This Halloween, wander through eerie indoor and outdoor spaces where ocean legends come alive in What Lurks Beneath. Enjoy fanciful performers, towering sea creatures, crafts, and Halloween-themed food and drinks. Brave adults and older kids can join a haunting guided tour through the Museum’s shadowy corners where the town of Greenmanville has been overtaken—infested by creatures of the deep. Maritime lore meets Halloween thrills—for all ages.


For all ages!

Wander through eerie indoor and outdoor spaces where ocean legends come alive. This limited-time experience blends Halloween thrills with maritime lore for all ages. Families and kids will love our fanciful performers, towering sea creatures, and ghostly projections. Make your own sea creature in our craft zone, then climb aboard the children’s mini-ship playscape for an imaginative adventure. Along the waterfront, explore the twilight ambiance of our historic seaport village, stop by Schaefer’s Spouter Tavern for Halloween-themed food and drinks, and gaze at massive Kraken tentacles climbing the rigging of the historic Charles W. Morgan.

Craving something a little spookier?

Brave adults and older kids can join a haunting guided tour through the Museum’s shadowy corners. The town of Greenmanville has been overtaken—infested by creatures of the deep. You must escape the inhuman souls that crawl from the water, intent on turning you into one of their own. With a local as your guide, you’ll flee town and be swept into a tale guaranteed to make your blood run cold…with salt water. Come prepared to extinguish your lanterns and delve into what lurks beneath the waters of the Mystic.
