Seasonal Activities for All Ages ☃️❄️

December 2023

Santa Paws

The season of giving is here! Help us support the Outer Banks SPCA and get into the Aquarium for free! Receive one free admission per donation of a listed full-size bag of pet food or three toys/supplies from the OBX SPCA Wishlist. The annual drive runs Dec. 1-31. Check our social media and website for the SPCA's most requested items and make the season merry for those awaiting their "furever" homes.

School's out? Check out a Day Camp!

Swim over for a variety of educational day camps featuring environmentally-focused games, crafts, Aquarium tour time, animal ambassador encounters and other hands-on discovery activities!

Nautical wreaths

Let your creativity shine as you craft a nautical wreath using natural items from the sea. Create a decorative wreath to use year-round or one perfect for the holiday season. One grapevine wreath per person plus natural materials to decorate are provided, though you are encouraged to bring in your own special shells or other treasures. Pre-registration is required. Aquarium Members receive a discount!

Contributions for critters

Our top-notch animal well-being actions include providing enrichment items to allow for natural behaviors, new shapes and textures, and interactive items! Delight our residents this winter by shopping the Amazon Wishlist hosted by the NC Aquarium Society.
