NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — There's a penguin party this weekend at the Aquarium of Niagara and you're invited!
Highlights include arts and crafts, sea lion shows and hands-on experiments and activities. This year, penguin encounters return after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
However, behind all the fun is a serious message. The party with a purpose aims to promote awareness and action for the vulnerable Humboldt penguin species. The Aquarium's 14 Humboldt penguins serve as ambassadors for their counterparts out in the wild considered vulnerable to extinction.
Penguin Days take place this Saturday and Sunday, March 19 & 20 from 9 AM until 5 PM. Tickets are available at the door and online. A portion of all gift shop and raffle ticket sales will go to the Humboldt penguin protection efforts.
