Ghosts of Pirate Cove

Just wanted everyone, especially other families to know another Seasonal event going on around the Cincinnati area.

Aquarium lands world-renowned Hollywood make-up artist to kick off its annual Halloween promotion

The fourth annual Ghosts of Pirate Cove will take place at the Aquarium from Oct. 21 -31. Guests can experience a sunken ship in the shark tank, pirates, storytelling, activities, decorations and treasure, and a great offer: Up to four kids (12 and under) in costume get in for $5 with each adult paying full price from Oct. 21 – 31, 2006, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

World-renowned Hollywood make-up and special effects artist Ken Niederbaumer is flying in from the set of Pirates of the Caribbean III, just to be part of the Newport Aquarium’s family-friendly Halloween event. Niederbaumer will provide make-up demonstrations, free with Aquarium admission, throughout each day on Oct. 21 and 22, in the Aquarium’s Duke Theater. A few lucky tri-state kids will be randomly selected to receive a "personal pirate makeover" and Aquarium visitors can watch the transformations unfold.

On Oct. 28 and 29, the Newport Aquarium will host Costume Contests for kids in Duke Energy Theater at 3 p.m. With help from sponsors MIX 94.1 and FOX 19 and great prizes, this promises to be another fun weekend at the Aquarium.
