Join us in the garden and meet some amazing penguins! Yes, penguins! Waddle into the world of penguin biology, geography, care, feeding, and conservation. Do all penguins live in cold weather? What does a penguin eat? Why can’t penguins fly? How can we tell penguins apart at the aquarium? Find out the answers to these questions and more, with the help of knowledgeable keepers from Jenkinson’s Aquarium! Designed for children ages 5 and up, but all are welcome.
