Penguin Awareness Day: Visit an Aquarium, Make Penguin-Themed Cupcakes & More

What better way to celebrate icy cold January than with your favorite Arctic bird?

Penguin Awareness Day is on Jan. 20 — so bundle up your kids and take them to the Mystic Aquarium to learn more about penguins, a native bird from Antarctica. This is a great opportunity to get everyone out of the house and see penguins in action.

 Penguin Awareness Day became a holiday in order to raise awareness to the fact that these flightless birds are on the endangered species list. 

Other ways to celebrate this holiday include:

• Dressing like a penguin (those tuxedos are cute!)
• Donating to Non-Profit Organizations that Help Penguins.
• Adopting a penguin.
• Educating yourself about penguins and share what you learn with family and friends.
• Watching a penguin movie.
• Reading a book about penguins.
•  Making a penguin-themed dessert, like black-and-white cookies, penguin cupcakes or a penguin cake. 
• Eating like a penguin by ordering sashimi.
