Giant Bobblehead Takeover

From Tacoma up to Northgate, explore the Seattle area and look for giant bobbleheads of Kraken stars Matty Beniers, Jaden Schwartz, Jordan Eberle, Vince Dunn and Jared McCann. Each day the bobbleheads will move to different locations throughout the region so use the bobblehead map below and tap the icon in the upper left of the map to filter by day.

Keep your eyes peeled for giant tentacles appearing in new locations around the region every day. When you spot these standout extremities, Kraken faithful are encouraged to “sound the call” of the Oct. 8 opening day by snapping photos and sharing them on social media!
