Merry Fishmas @ S.E.A. Aquarium
The kids love to see Santa Claus! Today, we are going to see Santa again. But he will be greeting us from the S.E.A. Aquarium!
The last time we visited the S.E.A. Aquarium was to officiate its opening with the Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Long in 2012. Today, we are at the S.E.A. Aquarium to meet Scuba Santa & Elf who greeted us with mask and fins! Come catch Scuba Santa and Elf make their bubbly appearance underwater from 17 Nov 2014 to 4 Jan 2015. Remember to bring your cameras and selfie sticks!
Here are the Timing & Venue where Scuba Santa and Elf will appear:
▸ 11am — 11.30am ⇒ Shipwreck Habitat
▸ 2pm — 2.30pm ⇒ Open Ocean Habitat
The Great Christmas Trail
This is part of the aquarium’s Christmas Season: The Great Christmas Trail special event. We visited during the weekdays to avoid the crowds, but it was crowded. The kids hunted down 9 underwater presents and picked up incredible facts about schooling fish along the way. What a great way to inspire our kids’ love for learning and discovery?

One of the major attractions for the kids is to watch the dolphins swim in the tank! We could stay and watch these graceful creatures swim for hours and hours. The dolphins were very accommodating and would swim close to the glass panel to say “hi” to us.

The Aquarium provided some lovely backdrop to take pictures. Remember to turn off your flash so that there is no reflection against the glass when you capture your shot.
Still, we have lots of fun watching the sharks, stingrays and different schools of fish swim in the sea of blue.
