Event attendees are encouraged to dress in Halloween costumes. For the safety and enjoyment of all guests, please keep these guidelines in mind: Costumes should be child-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, or violent in nature. For the safety of all visitors, we ask that guests refrain from wearing masks or other items which obscure the face. Costumes should not contain sharp or pointed objects, or materials that may accidentally strike guests or exhibits. Costumes should not contain any elements which resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon. The California Academy of Sciences reserves the right to turn away any guest with a costume that we deem offensive or unsafe.
Your payment for SuperNatural 2019 tickets is a tax-deductible contribution, except for $45 of each Werewolf/Vampire/Mummy Package and Individual Mummy ticket and $30 of each general admission ticket utilized. In the unlikely event that SuperNatural 2019 does not occur, your generous support will be considered an unrestricted contribution to the California Academy of Sciences.
Note on Donor Advised Fund Gifts: Federal law prohibits charitable distributions from donor advised funds whenever a benefit is obtained by the recommending donor. Please contact your Donor Advised Fund or private foundation for additional information.
