Adventure Aquarium might be the most exciting spot in New Jersey – this massive aquarium in Camden is full of some of the most unique animal exhibits you’ll find anywhere. Not only are the sea life exhibits extraordinary, but the land animals aren’t left out either. When’s the last time you saw an aquarium with a hippopotamus exhibit? But even if you’ve been to Adventure Aquarium multiple times, you’ve never really seen it until you’ve seen Adventure Aquarium at Christmas. All the excitement and education is still present, but with a hefty dose of holiday whimsy. You’ll see some truly unique holiday spectacles, including the world’s largest underwater Christmas Tree – and even a scuba-diving Saint Nick! So enter the aquarium before Christmas and celebrate the season like never before.

The colorful facade of Adventure Aquarium is a beloved sight - but it's even more festive and colorful right now.
