Back by popular demand, Munchkin Morning with Santa includes a variety of winter-themed activities and crafts (geared toward children ages 2 to 5), a penguin story and visit from one of the aquarium’s African penguins! Santa will also stop by to take photos with little ones. This program takes place on December 4, from 8:30 to 10 a.m., before the aquarium opens to the public, so guests have the unique opportunity to explore exhibits before the crowds arrive.

Members: $12 adult, $8 child; non-members: $15 adult, $10 child. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to make a reservation, call (860) 572-5955, ext. 520 or click here.
