Celebrate the Holiday SEAson!
The magic of the holidays meets the magic of the underwater world at Birch Aquarium during Seas ‘n’ Greetings, a month-long holiday celebration featuring SEAsonal activities for the whole family.
From December 1 to 31, Birch Aquarium is transformed into a holiday wonderland. Deck the Hall (of Fishes) and get into the holiday spirit every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and check the schedule for special appearances by Scuba Santa as well as themed animal encounters, a scavenger hunt, and fun photo opportunities.
On Saturdays and Sundays, things are even more festive with live music and two daily dive shows. The schedule changes daily, so check the calendar for details.
All Seas 'n' Greetings activities are included with admission.
Please note: There will be no holiday dive shows Dec. 24 or 31 and only elves will appear in the dive shows from Dec. 26 to 30 — Scuba Santa needs some rest!
