If you’re looking for some new holiday fun than Adventure Aquarium is your place to be. Santa has hit the waters and he’s still bringing the jolly with him. Christmas Underwater is only available until December 24th.
Before you Go to Adventure Aquarium
Here’s some tips for you. Adventure Aquarium is only less than 30 minutes from Philadelphia. There is plenty of parking that is about $10 per car. In addition to parking, parents who have small kids who need a stroller there are some available as first come, first served available for rent. If you have your own stroller they are also welcome. Depending on the age of your child, I would suggest the umbrella strollers. Adventure Aquarium also has plenty of elevators for you to use. Same for wheelchairs. They are available for rent as well.
There are plenty of food options. You can bring outside food in but the food on site is super convenient with plenty of seating. I would highly suggest getting tickets ahead. It saves time so you can explore. On heavy days you are going to appreciate having less of a line. Grab a map! There are plenty throughout the Aquarium. Grab one. You will need it to Mae sure you get through all of the floors and exhibits.
Christmas Underwater at Adventure Aquarium
Santa is here but he’s underwater. It’s a beautiful treat. My kids eyes lit up in excitement. Seeing Santa amongst the fish, turtles, sharks, and more was wonderful. Here’s what you want to know. Get tickets! In addition you will get in line and go in groups. Be patient. The staff makes sure that all families have an opportunity to take a picture with Santa. Santa, a few elves and more are waiting to greet you!
Adventure Aquarium Holiday Spirit
The Aquarium has done well with making sure that the grounds are fully decorated for the holidays. I was so happy to see that Hanukkah was included as well. This makes it inclusive for all to feel comfortable to celebrate the season in the way they are used to! Christmas trees were bright and super colorful. Everyone around us commented on the great job!
Aquarium and the Spirit of Touch
People of all ages love to explore and one of the ways to do so is through touch. There are plenty of places to touch. We had a great time touching the Starfish, Stingrays and more. At first my kids were scared. So I had to jump into mom mode and they were able to enjoy it afterwards. Please pay attention to the staff. They are there to help you. Any of the touch stations will ask you to use to two fingers. Do not use more than that. This keeps you, staff, and the animals safe. You don’t want to scare them.
Adventures of all Kinds
We loved the shark tunnel. It’s only of the last things you do as you leave. While near the shark tunnel we ran into Mrs. Claus. She was the most amazing Mrs. Claus that I have ever met. She was sweet, engaging and more. Thank you for making the children’s day. Of course we couldn’t leave without seeing Genny and Button. They are the resident hippos. We loved them. Our family always love seeing them.
When I say I have so much videos and proctors do not be surprised as I release them periodically. The Aquarium has so much to do and see. The fish tanks are more than beautiful. I loved the colors of the animals as well as the colors in their tanks. They are inviting and make you smile from ear to ear.
Christmas Underwater is a treat for the entire family! I had a blast and my family said nothing but great things as we were leaving. They were even arguing over what were the favorite parts! Remember Christmas Underwater is happening until December 24th. If you can’t make it to Christmas Underwater make sure you take your family regardless. Schools will be out this is a great indoor activity to do and enjoy! The event can sell out during the time you want to visit. Get your tickets before you go!
A special thank you to the entire staff of Adventure Aquarium for having us! I most definitely plan to return. The aquarium is a place to relax and enjoy the sights! If you’re looking for a self care day I would encourage you to visit. Something about the water is extremely calming. Adventure Aquarium definitely gives my stamp of approval for all things fun, family, me time, and more! So enjoy! Happy Holidays! Get your tickets now.
