Amid the pandemic, Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium announced its temporary plans to close throughout the rest of the year. But since humans are not allowed to enter inside, it does not mean that penguins cannot have a good time.
In the last few months, the resident penguins at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium have been very busy. They got an opportunity to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Field Museum, and the Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears. The stadium is now open for a limited number of fans.
Four penguins and their caretakers have recently paid a visit to Soldier Field during a special tour. Just in time for the football season, the penguins Darwin, Izzy, Tombo, and Charlotte had the chance to feel the wet grass of the Soldier Field. Also, they could see the locker rooms. In the video, they are noticed running toward the field, before their caretakers took them in the middle of the empty arena.
Even though the popular destination remains closed due to the pandemic, the official of Soldier Field said that their work to take care of the penguins and connect them to the public did not stop.
Videos of the penguins went viral on social media, gathering attention from all over the world. Check them out yourself – we’re sure you’ll love them.
