Back to School Glow Party

Join Via Aquarium and explore in a whole new light as we prepare to GlOw back to school!

We will have glowsticks at Admissions (while they last), and our main lights will be set to “UV.”

Bring your favorite blacklight reactive shirt, have your face painted (11:30am-2:30pm), and have a groovy time with the Shining Sea Stars of Via Aquarium.

AND our Back to School Teacher Raffle is back! Teachers attending the event will have a chance to win a $500 Field Trip Credit for their school to use during the 2025–2026 school year! Don’t forget to bring your Teacher ID to enter—this prize is exclusively for educators!

Event activities are included with General Admission tickets.
