ORLANDO, Fla. — The Elf on the Shelf is heading underwater for a new holiday experience at SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium.
SEA LIFE Orlando said “The Sea Star Search with The Elf on the Shelf” will run from Nov. 20 through Jan. 3.
During the interactive experience, families will help Santa’s Scout Elves find decorations that have gone missing from an Undersea Christmas Tree.
Guests will receive an activity booklet and lanyard before making their way through six challenges located throughout the aquarium.
At each stop, participants will collect a piece of a Christmas Sea Star. After completing all six challenges, guests will have a completed sea star ornament they can take home.
Participants who finish the search will also receive an Elf on the Shelf Christmas Star Certificate.
The holiday experience is included with general admission to SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium.
