Celebrate this one-of-a-kind Cincinnati holiday tradition with Scuba Santa at Newport Aquarium November 28 through December 24, 2025. It’s a Water Wonderland full of playful penguins, colorful holiday lights and a flurry of magical bubbles!
Through holiday magic, kids can tell Scuba Santa what they want for Christmas while he swims underwater with a tank full of sharks, rays, schools of fish and a curious sea turtle! Meet cheerful elves straight from the North Pole and join in the fun as Scuba Santa fills the Theater with bubbles. His magical bubbles will float and fall all around you and every time a bubble pops, a wish will come true for someone throughout the world.
Plus, stroll through an underwater wonderland as holiday lights and music create a festive atmosphere full of Christmas cheer!
