EXPERIENCES
Spending time with a loved one can be such a meaningful gift and the memories can last a lifetime. Take a trip to the beach, visit the Aquarium or the NC Zoo, walk through the NC Museum of Art, or sightsee at one of the many state parks. Other ideas include swimming lessons, movie passes, pottery class, or camping.
Santa by the Sea is our event where holiday magic comes to the Aquarium! Saturday, December 10 participants enjoy decorations, crafts, sweet treats, and a photo opportunity with Santa.
Holiday Craft Night for ages 21 and up will be hosted at the Aquarium 6:30-8:30 pm on Dec. 16. Choose to paint a holiday lighthouse scene or make a holiday sea glass mosaic. Bring your favorite snacks and beer, wine, or champagne.
