I had bought tickets for Pat and his little to join us last summer on one of our
Photo Play Dates, but they couldn't make it. So - we had these tickets we had to use before the end of the year. I noticed they have a "Christmastime at the Aquarium" so how fun right?! It was pretty damn adorable. So, I bought another tix for myself and we hit up the holiday version! I've never been at Christmastime!
I brought my camera to snap away, but my battery was dying, and as Pat pointed out - "How many pictures do you have of this place?!". Fair. So below I tried to snap just the Christmasy stuff - so it's mostly us!
I read they have a Snow Area in the front - well..it's like a tiny little square of snow, so don't get your hopes up for that.
They did have a couple of cute little photo ops:
I of course had to snap a few of my favorite Aquarium Friends:
 |
| Leafy Sea Dragon! |
 |
| Sea Horsey! |
 |
| Baby Sea Horseys!! |
We then watched one of the diver presentations and a few of the divers were wearing Santa Hats!!
 |
| Ho Ho Ho! |
 |
| I want this job |
They also had little candy canes in the Eel Garden!!!
 |
| Can you even?! |
Here's just some fun photos of us:
 |
| Chillin with the Penguins |
 |
| They had "snow" falling for the character photos! So cute! |
 |
| My boy and some sharks |
 |
| I accidentally hit a weird setting on my camera but I kind of love how this came out! |
 |
| I'm pretty in love with this guy |
They of course had Santa!
 |
| The best Santa!!! |
We planned to feed the Lorkeets. Now - I was slightly hesitant because these little fuckers can be a bit much, but the little really wanted to. Welp - they were "Very Hungry" according to the chart and the little was like NOPE the second we got in there and got swarmed. I feel you girl, so dad took over and he and I got pretty much bombarded by birds. Super cute but also slightly terrifying:
 |
| These birds weren't just hungry - they were Hangry! |
They had a little craft for the littles to do:
 |
| She made a cute little clothspin snowman! |
In between our Aquarium Fun, we wandered across the way to The Pike to lunch and they had some pretty decor!
 |
| That's a big tree |
 |
| She's totally taking after my tongue pics... |
 |
| In front of The Festival of Trees hashtagging our favorite! |
It ended up being a really fun day! We even watched the Old Skool The Grinch in a little theater they have in the Aquarium that was so awesome and nostalgic.
Christmastime at the Aquarium is def a thumbs up!!
Yay!
