Get your wish list and cameras ready… Santa and his penguin helpers are coming to the National Aviary! Saturdays before Christmas, visitors will have the opportunity to take photos with Santa AND an African Penguin, plus learn from an Aviary expert how their festive, tuxedoed feathers help them swim and what you can do to help save this Critically Endangered species.

Bring your camera for a new twist on this fun holiday tradition.
