Well, if this isn't just the most family-fun thing I've seen in a long time at the Jersey Shore, I don't know what is. And of course, it's happening at Jenkinson's Aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach.

The most famous residents at Jenkinson's Aquarium are, of course, the penguins, and now the penguins are inviting you and your family to an arts and crafts night!

There are two dates for painting with the penguins: November 13th and December 6th. On November 13th, painting with the penguins takes place between 5:30 PM and 6 PM, and on December 6th, painting with the penguins takes place between 3 PM and 3:30 PM.

How Much Does Painting With The Penguins Cost At Jenkinson's Aquarium?

The cost to participate in Painting with the Penguins is $50 per person, and you have to be at least 7 years old in order to get in on the fun.

Something to keep in mind during your experience is that Jersey is a no-touch state, meaning only trained professionals from Jenkinson's Aquarium should touch and handle the penguins. So yes, they're adorable, and no, you can't pet them during the event.

During your experience, you'll get to paint and keep an 8x10 keepsake, and your ticket also includes admission to the aquarium for the day. If you've never been to Jenkinson's Aquarium, this is a great way to get to know the Jersey Shore's favorite aquarium.
