The star of the season is the famous Scuba Claus, who straps on his diving gear and plunges into the 6.3-million-gallon Ocean Voyager exhibit, swimming gracefully alongside colossal whale sharks, giant manta rays, and thousands of saltwater fish while using underwater microphones to greet mesmerized children gathered before the colossal acrylic viewing window. In the Atrium, a brand-new 40-foot illuminated LED holiday tree is lit daily at 10:00 AM by lively aquarium elves, setting off musical light shows every hour. Families can explore Santa's North Pole Village to snap photos with Santa Claus, take in holiday-themed editions of the energetic Dolphin and Sea Lion presentations, and enjoy live choral performances on weekend afternoons. All core WinterTide activities are included with standard general aquarium admission. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Center for Puppetry Arts: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/center-for-puppetry-arts-rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer--listing-702072748d87da334e0ab24f) — Nov 11 – Dec 27 · 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Center for Puppetry Arts · All ages · From $22 · checked Nov 4.
