How is Christmas celebrated in the underwater world?
Every holiday season, Scuba Santa brings the gift of Christmas joy to all the animals and guests of Adventure Aquarium by decorating its exhibits with colorful shells, thousands of twinkling lights, enchanting bubbles and, of course, a bit of magic – and this year, he’s decorated EIGHT more!
See Santa swim among sharks, sting rays, and schools of fish in the Ocean Realm, home of the World’s Tallest Underwater Christmas Tree; partake in our indoor snow shower dance parties; sit with one of Santa’s el-fish helpers as they read a Christmas story; or share your Christmas wishes with him by dropping letters in his special mailbox! You can even enjoy cold milk and warm cookies with Santa during our ‘dry-side’ events (free for members, special ticket required for non-members) on December 8, 9 and 15th!
If you haven’t yet joined us deep beneath the ocean’s surface for a glimpse into the magic of Christmas Underwater, be sure to plan your visit before December 30! Scroll down for a full list activities going on at Adventure Aquarium this month:
