Breakfast with a Side of Seaweed

Dedicated E-mail: Monterey Bay Aquarium

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day – even for penguins.

That’s why Monterey Bay Aquarium wants you to bring the special kid in your life to one of the most exciting aquarium events of the year: Breakfast with the Penguins.

Enter to win the sweepstakes, and your little one and five friends could receive an exclusive meeting with the black-footed penguins at their new, expanded exhibit; get special early entry to the aquarium; and, of course, chow down with the penguins. (Don’t worry: Anchovies won’t be the only choice on the buffet.)

What’s the big occasion? Well, the penguins have been on vacation for the last seven months and are finally back to celebrate the grand reopening of the aquarium’s interactive, kid-friendly Splash Zone on March 17.

With a new Enchanted Kelp Forest and even more cuttlefish, seahorses, and sea slugs to snuggle up with, Splash Zone is perfect for kids — and the kid in all of us.

To explore the completely reimagined Splash Zone at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, simply enter the Breakfast with the Penguins sweepstakes today.

Who knows? Very soon you could be breakfasting with some super-special VIPs (Very Important Penguins).
