Come Celebrate with the Penguins
Come Celebrate with the Penguins
March 23, 2012 at 4:55 PM
Aquarium of Niagara penguins will be in the spotlight this weekend, 9:30am - 4pm Saturday and Sunday.
The Peruvian penguins at the Aquarium of Niagara (701 Whirlpool St., Niagara Falls) are among the Aquarium's most popular residents, and this weekend visitors can encounter them up close and personal with a special "meet and greet" event.
The 21st Annual Penguin Days is sponsored by Niagara Frontier Publications. The dress code is formal for the lovable, flightless penguins, but guests are welcome to dress casually. “Beaker”, the Aquarium’s penguin mascot, will also be on hand. Experienced Exhibit Department staff members will answer questions about these fun and fascinating birds during regular penguin meetings in the second floor Community Room.
Visitors can challenge their penguin knowledge by participating in the annual trivia contest, and have a chance at a plethora of penguin prizes. Children can also make and take home a penguin craft. Visit the “Sea N Do” Shack and learn more about penguin conservation while exploring a research field station. There will be penguin gifts, including original penguin art, available for purchase. Adopt-a-Penguin certificates can be purchased by anyone wishing to sponsor an Aquarium penguin for one year.
The Aquarium’s regular schedule of California sea lion demonstrations and harbor seal feedings will continue as usual throughout the weekend. Penguin Days are included in regular admission of $10 for adults, $6 for children, and FREE for children aged two and under. Members are also FREE. Admission to Penguin Days is limited, based on ticket availability and space.
