Watch Santa Celebrate The Season With A Holiday Scuba Adventure At The Mississippi Museum Of Natural Science

Ever wondered what Santa does in his free time? Well, wonder no more; we’ve got an answer for you. Turns out, Santa likes to do some scuba diving at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. But he’s not scuba diving for fun; he’s feeding the fish that call the aquarium home. You don’t have to take our word for it, though. You can actually watch Santa in action. Take a look:

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing.

Between permanent exhibits and an ever-changing slew of temporary ones, the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science offers fun year-round.

One of the museum’s best features is a 100,000-gallon aquarium, which houses over 200 species!

Throughout the year, visitors can catch a glimpse of scuba divers feeding the fish in the aquarium.

Feedings are extra special in December, though, and that’s because Santa Claus does the feedings himself.

That’s right; Santa, decked out in scuba gear, dives into the aquarium to feed the fish living in its waters.

Officially dubbed *Santa SCUBA Dive Fish Feedings*, the festive feedings are held on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays until December 22, 2019.

The feedings will take place at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays.

Watching Santa feed the fish is included with museum admission, so before or after the feeding you can spend some time checking out all the other great exhibits at the museum.

Remember, you can watch Santa feed the fish from December 1 – 22, 2019. He will be there on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10 a.m. and on Sundays at 2 p.m. For more information, call (601) 576-6000. You can also visit the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science website or Facebook page.

This isn’t the only festive event going on at the museum. Read about another here.
