Newport Aquarium Plans Holiday Festival
The 19th Annual Sea of Lights is a festive holiday celebration Friday and Saturday, December 2 and 3 from 6:30 to 9:00 pm both evenings. Admission is $2 and two items of non-perishable food, or pet food, or a new unwrapped toy, or $5. There will be a big lighted tree in the lobby, lighted small trees throughout the Aquarium and three miles of lights outdoors. Guests will enjoy face painting, holiday music and a visit with Santa while parents snap photos. After visiting with Santa, guests can enjoy the sounds of music by the Coastalaires and the Central Coast Chorale. The gift shop will be open with holiday displays and gift ideas. In addition, a bake sale and children’s craft area will be offered.
The Sea of Lights will also offer visitors a final chance to see Swampland before it ends January 3, an exhibit that showcases three different types of swamps from the western hemisphere and the animals that live in them, including an American alligator, giant anacondas and a chance to “swim with the piranhas.”
