Event Details

**Please note that the starting time for this program has changed from what was  advertised. It will now begin at 1:30 pm.**
 

Get ready to meet some penguins—virtually!  Join us and experience a Zoom visit with the penguins that call Chicago's Shedd Aquarium home, broadcast on the big screen at the Bedford Central Library.  

During this 45-minute virtual experience, you will be introduced to one or more of their penguins and discover what makes these birds so amazing. The aquarium's animal care team will take you "behind the scenes" in the penguins' habitat to learn more about how penguins are able to "fly" underwater, stay warm in cooler waters, and much more!

Registration is REQUIRED and limited to 10 people at this time.   Please be sure to put your name on the waitlist once those spots are full because we may be able to add more seats closer to the event if COVID-19 restrictions allow us to do so.  Masks are required for anyone ages 5+.
