Our 30th Birthday celebration continues with a Penguin Party! Join us, now through May 8, for a month-long celebration complete with special penguin activities and egg-citing surprises. During the Penguin Party, guests can hunt for the elusive Golden Egg (and the chance to win an Adventure Aquarium gift card!), get all their penguin questions answered by one of our biologists, or even purchase a cuddly penguin souvenir to take home. And, of course, don’t forget to meet our two species of penguins, including our newest Little Blue penguin chick*!

*The chick will be on exhibit everyday starting at 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. (though she may stay out later).
