Meet Randy, Paula, Simon, Kara or the newest penguin addition, Ellen. The parade begins every morning on the Plaza in front of the Aquarium when the penguins arrive in their brand new, custom-made Penguin Mobile amidst a ton of fun and fanfare. These are warm-weather African penguins - not the arctic ones - so they love being outside in the summer. A Newport Aquarium biologist who cares for them will share interesting facts about penguins and conservation. And each day, one lucky child will be chosen at random to be the Parade's Grand Marshall. It's an experience you won't forget.
Note: In case of inclement weather the parade will be held in the Aquarium lobby.
Every Monday from 5-9pm, admission is FREE to the Contemporary Arts Center located in downtown Cincinnati.
