Celebrate African Penguin Awareness Weekend at Adventure Aquarium while helping to save the endangered creature from extinction.

Guests can get up close with an African penguin and learn more about them during live Q&A chats with biologists. The penguins will also make their art debut as they wobble with paint on their feet on canvas. Visitors can purchase penguin artwork and other crafts with all proceeds going to the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds in Cape Town, South Africa.
