SeaWorld has created a Polynesian celebration of the season complete with island music, incredible entertainment and a feast that could feed all of Santa’s elves (and the reindeer, too).

It’s a festival of culture, community and Christmas – celebrated in true SeaWorld spirit.

From the sweeping vocal majesty of the angelic choir to the heart-pounding excitement you’ve come to expect from the prince of the deep, this performance will take you and your family on a stirring voyage into the heart of the holidays.

THE POLAR EXPRESS EXPERIENCE

A SESAME STREET CHRISTMAS

Your little elves will be smiling all the way home.

WINTER WONDERLAND ON ICE
