- Costumes must be family-friendly and may not contain any weapons. This includes any toys or replicas that resemble weapons.
- Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials.
- Masks may only be worn for photo opportunities.
- The Monterey Bay Aquarium reserves the right to turn away any guest with a costume that we deem offensive or unsafe.
