Santa by the Sea

Event Description

Whispered wishes among the fishes bring holiday magic to the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, decorated for the season. Kids can make holiday cards and an ornament, enjoy treats and themed games, and meet Santa, while Mrs. Claus appears around the aquarium for story time and food trucks are on site. Regular aquarium admission with a timed reservation is required, plus an $11.95 holiday bag for each participating child that includes a take-home photo with Santa. The event runs 9 AM to 5 PM, with the last tickets and holiday bags sold at 3:30 PM.
