Set Sail To Sea Of Lights

Set sail to Sea of Lights this December! The Oregon Coast Aquarium is thrilled to once again host Sea of Lights, one of the largest holiday light displays on Oregon’s central coast.

Sea of Lights will illuminate the Aquarium from 5:00pm-8:00pm the first three Friday and Saturday evenings this December. Join us on 12/2, 12/3, 12/9, 12/10, 12/16, & 12/17!

Aquarium members can attend Sea of Lights at no cost and non-members may purchase tickets upon arrival. Sea of Lights admission is $10 per person, or free with proof of same day paid admission. Guests 0-2 years old get in free. This family-friendly event allows visitors to view Aquarium galleries and exhibits in a new light, and includes Santa photo opportunities. While hot drinks and limited food options will be available for purchase at the Aquarium’s coffee bar, be sure to pack a pair of mittens and your favorite coat—the Aquarium is an indoor/outdoor facility, and Oregon’s weather is reliably unpredictable.

For our visitors’ safety, some areas of the Aquarium will be inaccessible during Sea of Lights, including the Nature Play Area.

This year’s Sea of Lights follows a two-year hiatus, during which the Aquarium was unable to host the beloved holiday event.

“We are thrilled to host Sea of Lights once again,” said Carrie Lewis, CEO and President of OCAq. “It’s such a highlight of the winter season, and it’s truly heartwarming to see communities come together to celebrate.”
