Get to know Aglow before you go!
Feel the Holiday Magic
You’ll enjoy dozens of exhibits adorned with magical holiday lights and décor as you sip and snack on specialty refreshments (with plenty of options for the 21+ crowd). Plus, Santa is trading in his jolly red bag of gifts for a dive mask and flippers! Wave to Scuba Claus nightly as he takes a break from the North Pole and dives into the warmer waters of the Carolinas in our Great Ocean Tank.
