Now, young festive explorers are being invited to explore the aquarium, solve festive challenges and help the Scout Elves return the missing decorations to the Undersea Christmas Tree.

The interactive trail, which has been dubbed The Sea Star Search with The Elf on the Shelf, is now included in the price of a General Admission ticket November 20. Book tickets here.

Upon arrival, visitors will receive an activity sheet and special lanyard before setting off on their underwater adventure.

Along the trail, guests will discover a series of interactive challenge points where they can help individual Scout Elves complete festive tasks and recover decorations.

As they journey through the aquarium, they'll build their very own Christmas Sea Star Medallion to take home as a special keepsake from their adventure.

Those who complete the trail will earn their place alongside the Scout Elves as true Christmas Stars and receive an exclusive The Elf on the Shelf Christmas Star Certificate to commemorate their achievement.
