Penguin Encounter
Penguin Encounter
Meet an African Penguin
What do penguin feathers feel like? What sound does a penguin make? How can we help endangered African penguins in the wild? Find out during a Penguin Encounter at Mississippi Aquarium! Our Penguin encounter gives participants the opportunity to touch and learn about the African penguins at Mississippi Aquarium.
The program includes a 10-minute educational chat, 15 minutes with a penguin and trainer and a Q&A session after the interaction. Participants will be in small groups during this encounter.
We ask any participant with special needs to please contact us at education@msaquarium.org in advance so that we may ensure the best experience possible.
