They even are home to the world's first-ever shark bridge.

SEA thousands of the world’s most exotic aquatic creatures as you waddle with playful penguins, meet rare white alligators, be surrounded by sharks and surprised by smiling stingrays. Encounter thrilling adventures like the first-in-the-world Shark Bridge, where you can cross inches above a tank full of sharks on a rope bridge. Plus, experience the brand-New Hatchling Harbor and be immersed in a bustling 25-foot-long habitat where you’ll meet baby animals growing and changing every day.

Newport Aquarium recently announced a fun, new event in time for Halloween this year, it's an immersive pumpkin glow. Of course, in true aquarium fashion, it's an underwater pumpkin glow.

Pumpkin Glow events are fun events where you can go and see thousands of pumpkins lighting up the night. This event is similar to those in the sense that they will have pumpkins, and they will be glowing.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
