The Holidays Light Up During Winter Nights and Lights at Miami Seaquarium, Dec. 18-30

In a dazzling display of holiday splendor, Miami Seaquarium will transform into a Winter Wonderland for its annual Winter Nights and Lights Celebration from December 18 through December 30. Complete with nightly snowfall, a Kids' Winterfest, extended park hours and holiday-themed shows and exhibits, Winter Nights and Lights will light up the holidays with colorfully illuminated sculptures of reef fish, flamingos, dolphins, seals, sea lions, killer whales and other marine friends. Gates are open from 9:30am to 8pm daily, except for December 24 and 25 when the park will close at 6 pm.

Winter Nights and Lights will also feature a variety of holiday-themed shows after dark. Come early and enjoy favorite shows, then stay late for new holiday spectaculars: "Flipper & the Nutcracker" and "Salty Saves the Holidays." Enjoy Top Deck's Holiday Cruise, a seasonal classic.

"Miami Seaquarium is pleased to make the Holidays come alive with Winter Nights and Lights," commented Eric Eimstad, VP of Sales and Marketing at Miami Seaquarium."Quickly becoming a South Florida Holiday tradition, Winter Nights and Lights promises to bring the holiday spirit to South Florida."
