Star Trek now in IMAX!

Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian, opens Friday, July 3.
NEW, Penguins on the Loose daily animal encounter. Once each day, at 11:15 precisely, we allow one or more of our African Penguins to roam around. Get close with no glass between you and these adorable birds. FREE with general admission.
..
Come Fall in Love!
Undeniably cute. Comically awkward on land. Marvelously graceful under water. Give your heart to The Maritime Aquarium's newest residents:a small colony of African penguins! You'll find these little birds irresistibly adorable as they waddle and swim in a new outdoor exhibit, offering views above and below the water.
News Channel 8, WTNH, captured the big moment when our penguins moved to their new home!

The African penguins are a wonderful complement to the Aquarium's other current special exhibit, "African Underwater Safari."
..
Take the African Underwater Safari
Journey to Africa, be home by dinner.
Now you can explore the aquatic wonders of Africa in your own backyard. When they think of an African safari, most people picture land-based animals: elephants, giraffes, hippos and such. Now the Aquarium offers an African "safari" from a new perspective: underwater. While you will not see elephants or giraffes, you can see catfish that have their noses. See electric catfish that stun their prey with a high voltage jolt, lungfish that breathe atmospheric air like you and me, boa constrictors that have heat-seeking noses, geckos that can cling to smooth surfaces with electrostatic toes and that have nothing to do with car insurance. Included with Aquarium admission. For just $5 more you can journey through the "Lost Temple" on a 3-D simulator ride. Enhance your experience even more with the new IMAX movie, "Wild Ocean, Where Africa Meets the Sea." Or buy a Value Pass ticket to save on all three.
Tour de Turtles
Sea Turtle Race
Our tagged sea turtle "Maritime" won the "Tour de Turtles." Here she is with her satellite tag attached, heading out to sea. She won the race by being the first sea turtle out of 9 to swim more than 1,628 miles from the race start date. You can see her satellite track at www.TourDeTurtles.org her transmitter will last about two years.
"Maritime" swam for the cause of cleaning up ocean pollution. Sea turtles eat jellyfish and it is nearly impossible for them to distinguish between one of their favorite foods and floating plastic bags. Check out "Maritime's Cause Animation" below the nightvision video.
The Maritime Aquarium's participation was made possible though a grant from The Nature Conservancy: www.nature.org
More about the Aquarium . . .
The video below from You Tube is described by the creator:
This video is about "PL3" Patient Lady 3, the Roton Point Sailing Association and the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy, popularly known as the "Little America's Cup." Tony DiMauro led four consecutive successful defenses of the Little America's Cup with a series of "Patient Lady" catamarans, at the very cutting edge of small-catamaran development.
His "Patient Lady V" (complete with wing mast) is currently on display in the entrance hall of the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium.
My brother in-law "David Reeves Carpenter" was lucky enough to sail on her one summer and the music and voice is all his on this video. For more information about David Reeves Carpenter and his muisc, please visit: www.davidreevescarpenter.com or www.beertruckmusic.com
Thank you.
