Santa Claus steers his sleigh from the North Pole to Las Vegas to find out who’s been naughty and nice during the annual Santa in the Shipwreck at Shark Reef Aquarium. With each paid admission, children 12 and under receive a complimentary photograph with Santa Claus.

🦈 Jolly St. Nick will also have a little help this year from a rather large and toothy holiday helper – Santa Jaws. Throughout the day, Santa Jaws will happily “swim” by to join the kiddies for a photo.

🎅Santa will put on a SCUBA suit and plunge into the shipwreck exhibit to wave farewell alongside his underwater friends before going back to his elves and reindeer.

Remaining Dates: Dec 14 & 15 and 21 – 24, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

As we gather around the table to celebrate the season of gratitude, let's take a moment to appreciate all the amazing creatures that inhabit our world. Did you know that in some parts of the world, the turkeyfish (aka the lionfish) is a fascinating creature that’s as unique as the holiday itself?

With its striking, spiny appearance, the turkeyfish might not be on your plate, but it’s still a reminder of how incredible and diverse nature truly is. We give thanks for the beauty of our planet and all the creatures that share it with us.

Shark Reef Aquarium is open through the holidays including Thanksgiving Day. Book your tickets in advance for your preferred time to visit: https://mandalaybay.mgmresorts.com/en/entertainment/shark-reef-aquarium.html
