This holiday season the Virginia Aquarium not only has its new Restless Planet exhibit to offer guests beginning November 21, but two holiday movies and Santa visits as well.

Opening nationwide and at the Virginia Aquarium 3D IMAX® Theater this Friday, November 6, is Disney’s A Christmas Carol. Through the all-encompassing power of IMAX 3D, movie-goers will reach for the falling snowflakes, feel the rumble of the horse-drawn carriages over the cobblestone streets and soar with Scrooge high above the London night sky. With crystal clear images, laser-aligned digital sound and maximized field of view, this remake of Charles Dickens’ classic tale puts you IN the movie. Although the Aquarium closes at 5 p.m. daily, the IMAX 3D theater will offer two evening showings.

The Aquarium will also offer an alternative holiday movie for younger audiences, The Light Before Christmas. This 35-minute movie will run in the Marsh Pavilion’s Interactive Theater beginning Wednesday, November 25. The Light Before Christmas is a stunning Stop-Motion Animated film with lavish detailed sets and characters inspired by the fascinating designs of renowned artist James C. Christensen. Its musical score hearkens back to many beloved Christmas classics.
