Unfortunately the Penguin Plunge has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Through the years the Penguin Plunge has raised over$350,000 to benefit Amelia Park Children's Museum. These funds have been essential to keeping the museum open. The cancellation of this event does leave a hole in our budget. Please consider a donation to the museum to help us offset this deficit.
The good news is that the museum is doing well. Many new exhibits have been installed within the last few years and attendance continues to grow. Help us keep the momentum going by making a donation to the museum.
Amelia Park Children's Museum offers fun hands on learning in a safe environment. But beyond that it is a community center. Families and friends often meet for an outing. New friends are made. APCM is a wonderful asset to the community. All of this at an affordable price! Help us maintain this cost of admission.

APCM provides an enriching environment where children and their families can learn about themselves, their communities, and the world around them. Integrated throughout the museum is a broad range of creative exhibits and imaginative hands-on activities, which foster a climate of learning and exploration. Central to the museum's philosophy is that children can learn through the arts, history, science, and the region's rich environmental and cultural diversity.
