Mystic Aquarium's Northern Lights offers the perfect winter break holiday experience!

With the first half of the school year winding down and the holidays coming to and end, families now have the chance to experience the full wonder of the holiday season at Mystic Aquarium’s first-ever Northern Lights event. My family and I visited the Mystic Aquarium’s Northern Lights and had a great time exploring the outside trails with all the lights!

Illuminated by a re-creation of the aurora borealis, Northern Lights takes visitors on a journey along the lighted pathways of the Aquarium’s outdoor habitats, which include beluga whales, fur seals, and sea lions! In addition to the animals and light displays, guests are able to watch ice carving, indulge in hot chocolate and s’mores, and even learn from Mystic‘s animal trainers and researchers stationed throughout the facility.

Watch out for the Seals who love this winter weather!

A stunning spectacle of energy-efficient lights will be set to music as guests stroll along beautifully-decorated pathways throughout the outdoor Aquarium exhibits. Hand-crafted lanterns help shine a whole new light on Arctic species.
