For Halloween, the Aquarium becomes the witches' sanctuary, where everyone will be invited to tests of courage, such as crossing giant shark jaws. The gates to the huge aquatic world open in the indoor routes, where you can find strange characters such as fantasy fish, gigantic crabs, octopuses and zombimedusa. At the entrance to the Purple Trail, there is also a freak show, the 'Giant Insects XXL Edition', resin reproductions of insects enlarged up to 200 times. Finally, you can take a trip back in time to the age of the dinosaurs, approaching the fearsome T-Rex for the last real test of courage to be faced. To round off the day, you can take part in feeding sessions with penguins, otters, stingrays and bull sharks. Info: www.acquariodicattolica.it
