Diver Santa Talks With Kids!

Ho Ho Ho!

Gearing up for the holidays here at the Seattle Aquarium! Erika Schultz from the Seattle Times recently stopped by to snap a few pics of Santa diving here for the kids. He'll be here for the next few weekends so if he hasn't seen your Christmas list, come down to show him. And if you haven't booked your holiday party, we still have a couple spots left so give us a call. Santa likes the evening parties too!
