Beer gardens at museums and attractions in Philadelphia Grace Dickinson, The Philadelphia Inquirer
After an afternoon spent exploring your favorite museums and attractions, relaxing with a cold drink sounds pretty ideal. Fortunately, plenty of Philly-area spots make that easy to do, with beer gardens located just outside. And many offer not only local brews, but enticing views, too.
“I honestly feel like it’s the best-kept secret of the best view of Philadelphia,” says communications manager Jenna Eckel of the Adventure Aquarium’s Flying Fish Beer Garden.
Here, you can sip on beers like the Button and Genny’s Watermelon Splash a homage to the Aquarium’s hippos who love snacking on watermelon while taking in skyline views from across the Delaware River. Elsewhere around the city, you’ll find beer gardens that overlook the Schuylkill River, Independence Mall, and beyond, all within a few steps of cultural and learning experiences you can enjoy fir
Adventure Aquarium is offering a visit with Scuba Santa
One of my favorite places in New Jersey, the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, is offering a visit with Santa in a COVID-safe experience with their “Christmas Underwater” event. This will be the 12th year of the celebration.
The display features the world’s tallest underwater Christmas tree as well as the world’s smallest underwater Christmas tree. The main attraction, however, is “Scuba Santa,” who will be diving, swimming, and waving with the hammerhead shark, stingrays, and sea turtles in the Ocean Realm and stopping along the glass to take selfies with customers. Between dives, Santa will also be available for socially-distant visits with kids in the Magic Snow Globe area.
CAMDEN, New Jersey Families can dive into the magic of Christmas at a unique underwater experience in Camden, complete with a visit from a scuba-diving Santa.
The Adventure Aquarium s Christmas Underwater display has returned for its 12th season, delighting visitors with the world s tallest underwater Christmas tree and a special appearance by Scuba Santa, all in a COVID-safe environment. At the Adventure Aquarium we love to be a part of family s traditions during the holiday season, this year especially, said Jenna Eckel, public relations manager at the Adventure Aquarium.
In addition to meeting Scuba Santa behind the Ocean Realm s panoramic window, where he swims around and waves at his fans, families can also participate in a socially distant meet-and-greet with Scuba Santa, who holds court inside his Snow Globe.
