There are so many fun things to do in New Jersey this time of year, but this one really caught my eye!
When you think of Santa Claus, you probably imagine him flying through the night sky in his sleigh with all his reindeer friends, right?
Or smile for photos, or spend time with Mrs. Claus.
But did you know that Santa is also an excellent swimmer who loves spending time in the water?
And you can see Santa swimming with all his underwater friends right here in New Jersey, and you can also check out “The World's Tallest Underwater Christmas Tree.”
Two New Jersey aquariums are getting into the Christmas spirit, Adventure Aquarium in Camden and Jenkinson's Aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach, and they offer plenty of exciting entertainment and activities.
