We invite you and your family to a morning filled with cheer and magic at Georgia Aquarium’s festive Oceans Ballroom. Enjoy a morning with a view into our largest aquatic exhibit, all while Mrs. Claus and her elves set the stage for a winter wonderland. Once you’re ready, step into Santa’s workshop to meet the man himself and capture a photo to cherish for years to come. Then, you’re free to explore the entire Aquarium, where you’ll discover WinterTide décor, festive performances, and holiday magic all day long!
