'Christmas Underwater' Runs At NJ's Adventure Aquarium Nov. 25-Dec. 24

CAMDEN, NJ — The spirit of "Fishmas" is bright at Adventure Aquarium, with Scuba Santa diving in daily and a brightly-lit underwater Christmas tree sparkling among the sharks.

The underwater Christmas tree, billed as the world's tallest, is 18 feet tall and decorated with 400 custom-sculpted corals. Santa Claus will visit the Ocean Realm daily, and has time in his schedule for greeting families and taking photos.

The aquarium will also be decorated with snow-like flurries and new Christmas lights indoors.

Adventure Aquarium invites South Jersey residents to discover holiday surprises on land and sea. The aquarium's Christmas Underwater holiday events run from Friday, Nov. 25 until Saturday, Dec. 24.
