Get A Photo Of A Scuba Diving Santa At This Aquarium In New Jersey

Adventure Aquarium might be the most exciting spot in New Jersey - this massive aquarium in Camden is full of some of the most unique animal exhibits you'll find anywhere. Not only are the sea life exhibits extraordinary, but the land animals aren't left out either. When's the last time you saw an aquarium with a hippopotamus exhibit? But even if you've been to Adventure Aquarium multiple times, you've never really seen it until you've seen Adventure Aquarium at Christmas. All the excitement and education is still present, but with a hefty dose of holiday whimsy. You'll see some truly unique holiday spectacles, including the world's largest underwater Christmas Tree - and even a scuba-diving Saint Nick! So enter the aquarium before Christmas and celebrate the season like never before.

The colorful facade of Adventure Aquarium is a beloved sight - but it's even more festive and colorful right now.

All the spectacular animal attractions, like the shark bridge, are still in fine form.

However, everything's a little more colorful, a little more festive - because it's Christmas at the Aquarium!

It all starts with a visit to the Snowtunda - where you might see a penguin parade if you're lucky.

The highlight might be the world's only scuba-diving Santa, who can be seen bringing Christmas tidings to the sharks, turtles, and rays.

There are several unique shows for kids, including the charming puppet show "Merry Fishmas, Boris"...

And the traditional storytelling event "Poppy's Wreath" - starring a beloved penguin!

And of course, you can't miss the world's biggest underwater Christmas tree - standing eighteen feet and festooned with colorful coral.
