Newport, KY - One of the most unique holiday attractions in the country, Scuba Santa’s™ Water Wonderland, is getting refreshed and updated this holiday season.
Now in his eighth year of entertaining and delighting guests at Newport Aquarium, Scuba Santa will still arrive in the 385,000-gallon Surrounded by Sharks exhibit. But this year, he’ll introduce a new show where even the most beloved animals in the tank can magically talk to the crowds. Sitting in his magical underwater sleigh – pulled by sea horses! – Scuba Santa will even read a new underwater version of his celebrated “Twas the Night Before Christmas” poem, complete with special Scuba Santa twists!
“Scuba Santa’s Water Wonderland,” which begins on Nov. 26 and runs through Jan. 2, has become one of the Tri-state area’s favorite and most unique holiday traditions.
There are so many great things to see and do at the Aquarium every day, but Scuba Santa’s Water Wonderland also features holiday festivities, activities and decorations.
Visit Scuba Santa’s Post Office, where kids can write letters to Scuba Santa and deposit them in a special mailbox for speedy delivery.
Take part in the Reindeer Roundup game by helping Scuba Santa find all the reindeer hidden throughout the Aquarium.
Enjoy Extended Holiday Hours on select days during the event! (See below for details.)
Admission to Scuba Santa’s Water Wonderland activities is free with a Newport Aquarium ticket.
