The Oregon Coast Aquarium glows for the holidays with Sea of Lights, a festive celebration in Newport. Wander among sparkling displays, meet the resident sea creatures, and enjoy seasonal magic where the ocean meets the holidays.
It's a dazzling, family-friendly way to experience one of the coast's top attractions. Home to sea otters, sharks, and a walk-through underwater tunnel, the aquarium is a Newport must-see year-round — and especially magical during the holidays. Pair it with a festive stroll on the bayfront for a memorable winter visit.
