The annual Festival of the Seas exhibit has descended on the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper.

Through the month of December, the aquarium and museum features holiday-themed additions to all its exhibits.

Santa and Mrs. Claus and a bunch of Santa’s workshop helpers provide the energy, while those who attend can enjoy the sights, sounds and photo opportunities with all the aquarium residents.
