Ends of the Earth: From Polar Bears to Penguins

Ends of the Earth: From Polar Bears to Penguins at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia takes visitors from one end of our globe to the other to explore the fascinating—and frigid—worlds of the Arctic and Antarctic through interactive exhibits and multimedia experiences.

Slide like a penguin. Study their feathers under a microscope in the Penguin Lab. Check out a real penguin skeleton and find out why penguins are black and white. Learn what researchers are discovering about penguins, including their feeding, family life, and unique locomotion. Then, match your skills against those of penguin parents in the "Feed the Chick Game”. Fish for krill and race your opponent back to the nest!
