What's Happening: Good Eats

Visit the penguins! Buy your tickets online—we're waiving online ticketing surcharges right now.

If you saw the movie we posted recently about penguin feedings, you might be interested to know just what these birds are eating. Well, the penguins at the Aquarium are fed by hand twice a day. They eat a variety of fish like...


capelin...


smelt...


trout...


and sardines.

As you can tell, the fish comes to the Aquarium frozen.



We have to thaw each block of fish the night before so it's ready in time to feed our hungry birds at 9 a.m. in the morning and again at 2:30 p.m. every afternoon. Can you guess what fish is their favorite?
