Sea of Lights

Thanks for joining us for Sea of Lights!

Thanks for joining us for four weekends of sipping cocoa, walking beneath the lights, and taking selfies with Santa!

A special thank you to everyone that donated as part of our food drive weekend 2025! Together we raised over 2,500 pounds of food!

A well decorated pathway leading to the Aquarium lobby. Many lights, twinkle lights, and animals constructed from lights fill the area.
