Mystic Seaport Museum Brings Back What Lurks Beneath – A Spooky Halloween Experience for All Ages

Mystic Seaport Museum (75 Greenmanville Ave, Mystic, CT 06355), invites you to What Lurks Beneath, an event where visitors explore the mysteries of the ocean and encounter sea creatures and legends.

What Lurks Beneath is suitable for all ages, with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities available. The event is primarily self-guided, with the Museum grounds decorated and lit up providing visitors with an immersive Halloween experience. New this year, visitors can choose between two tour options:

Families and young children can take a self-guided walking tour featuring ghostly apparitions, playful spirits, and lost sailors.

For ages 12 and up, a more thrilling adventure is offered with a guided tour led by a ghostly sailor to encounter deep-sea creatures and shipwrecked sailors.

Several exhibits will also be open, including Voyage to the Deep-Underwater Adventures, based on Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Spineless: A Glass Menagerie of Blaschka Marine Invertebrates, and Figureheads and Shipcarvings. Kids can enjoy crafting, games, and playtime on the mini-ship playscape. The Kraken tentacles climbing the rigging of the Charles W. Morganprovide a great photo opportunity, where visitors can meet ghostly sailors. Explore the ghostly ambiance of a seaport village at night as you stroll the waterfront and check out a séance, enjoy a fireside chat with one of our storytellers, grab a take-home card from the print shop, and more.

The event will also feature Halloween-themed food and drinks at Schaefer’s Spouter Tavern.

What Lurks Beneath runs on October 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26 with timed entries at 6:00 and 7:00 pm.
